Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows operating systems and tools (such as PowerShell, Group Policy, Configuration Manager) are mentioned first and in greater detail. The Azure portal method is only available for Windows VMs, with Linux relegated to 'script or out-of-band methods.' Windows-specific automation tools are listed before Linux equivalents, and PowerShell is referenced more frequently than bash or Linux-native tools. Linux instructions and examples are present but are generally secondary, less detailed, and sometimes only mentioned as alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, giving equal prominence to both.
  • Include Linux-native automation tools (e.g., cloud-init, shell scripts, systemd units) alongside Windows tools like Group Policy and Configuration Manager.
  • Provide more detailed Linux examples, including troubleshooting steps and automation patterns.
  • Where possible, clarify which features are available for Linux and Windows, and avoid language that positions Windows as the default or primary platform.
  • Add explicit references to Linux compatibility in the Azure portal method, or clarify limitations and suggest improvements.
  • Ensure that script downloads and usage instructions for Linux are as detailed and accessible as those for Windows.
