Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias by exclusively deploying a Windows VM ('SimpleWinVM'), referencing Windows-specific username/password requirements, and linking only to Windows VM documentation. There are no examples or guidance for deploying a Linux VM, nor are Linux-specific requirements or dashboard scenarios mentioned. While both Azure CLI and PowerShell are shown, the VM and supporting documentation are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples for deploying a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) and update the Bicep/ARM template to allow choosing between Windows and Linux.
  • Include links to Linux VM documentation for username and password requirements.
  • Add a section or tab showing how to visualize Linux VM performance in the dashboard.
  • Ensure that variable names and resource group names are OS-neutral (e.g., 'SimpleVmResourceGroup' instead of 'SimpleWinVmResourceGroup').
  • Clarify in the prerequisites and deployment steps that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported, and provide parameter options for each.
