Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) and examples are mentioned explicitly and sometimes before Linux equivalents. For instance, the section on creating VMs in availability zones lists the Azure portal, Azure CLI (Linux), and Azure PowerShell (Windows), but the PowerShell/Windows path is called out separately. Additionally, SQL Server (a Windows-centric workload) is highlighted as an example for multi-zone deployments, while Linux workloads or open-source equivalents are not mentioned. There are references to Windows-specific documentation paths, and Linux examples are less visible or not equally emphasized.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and Windows examples are presented with equal prominence and in parallel (e.g., always provide both Azure CLI and PowerShell commands, and clarify which is for Linux and which for Windows).
- Include examples and references for popular Linux workloads (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache) in sections discussing application-level reliability and multi-zone deployments.
- Avoid listing Windows/PowerShell tools before Linux/CLI equivalents; alternate the order or present them together.
- Add explicit links to Linux documentation when Windows-specific links are present (e.g., for SQL Server, also mention guides for MySQL/PostgreSQL on Azure VMs).
- Review all examples and ensure that Linux users can follow the guidance without needing to translate Windows-specific instructions.
