Summary
The documentation page primarily describes VM creation via the Azure portal, with administrator account setup focused on username/password authentication (typical for Windows). Linux-specific guidance is limited to a brief mention that SSH keys can be used for authentication, without further details or examples. No Linux-specific screenshots, step-by-step instructions, or parity in configuration options are provided. The reference to PowerShell in the 'Reference' section is generic, but no Linux CLI or shell examples are given.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux VM creation examples, including screenshots showing SSH key authentication and Linux-specific options.
- Include step-by-step instructions for Linux VM setup, such as configuring SSH keys, setting hostnames, and post-deployment steps relevant to Linux.
- Ensure parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux, such as describing differences in guest management, agent installation, and connectivity for Linux VMs.
- Add references and examples for Linux command-line tools (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI on Linux) alongside PowerShell.
- Clarify any differences in VM template usage or customization for Linux guests.
