Summary
The documentation shows evidence of Windows bias. Most queries and examples are generic, but the only explicit OS-specific scenario is 'WindowsPendingReboot', with no equivalent Linux example (e.g., 'LinuxPendingReboot'). Windows terminology and resource names are used exclusively or first, and there is no parity for Linux-specific guest configuration queries. Additionally, while Azure CLI and PowerShell are both cross-platform, PowerShell is traditionally associated with Windows, and its inclusion without Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash, shell scripting) further reinforces the bias.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for scenarios such as pending reboot (e.g., 'LinuxPendingReboot').
- Ensure parity by providing both Windows and Linux resource queries where applicable.
- Include Linux shell (Bash) command examples for Azure CLI usage to demonstrate cross-platform applicability.
- Clarify in documentation that PowerShell examples are cross-platform, or provide alternative Linux-native scripting examples.
- Review resource naming and ensure that Linux resources are mentioned and queried with equal prominence as Windows resources.
