Summary
The documentation consistently references Windows-based virtual machines in all example links and prerequisites, such as '/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-portal', '/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-powershell', and '/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-cli'. There are no explicit Linux VM examples, links, or instructions, even though Azure supports Linux VMs equally. This creates a subtle Windows bias, especially in the onboarding and prerequisites sections, by implying Windows is the default or only supported platform.
Recommendations
- Add parallel Linux VM links in the prerequisites for each method (portal, PowerShell, CLI), e.g., '/azure/virtual-machines/linux/quick-create-portal', etc.
- Include example resource names and walkthroughs that reference Linux VMs, or clarify that the instructions apply equally to Linux and Windows VMs.
- Where VM creation is referenced, provide both Windows and Linux options, or use neutral language and links that encompass both.
- Review all code samples and ensure that any OS-specific steps (such as VM provisioning) are not Windows-centric, or provide Linux equivalents.
- Explicitly state in the introduction and prerequisites that both Windows and Linux backend pool instances are supported.
