Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. It references Windows-specific infrastructure and endpoints (such as KMS for Windows VM activation, Windows Update, and Windows Defender), and includes instructions and port requirements that are only relevant for Windows-based virtual machines. There is no mention of Linux equivalents for these services, nor are Linux-specific considerations or examples provided. The only explicit example of a deployment model is a link to a PowerShell-based guide, with no Bash/CLI or Linux-focused alternatives. The ordering of information also places Windows requirements before any mention of Linux or cross-platform needs.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for Linux-based VM scenarios, such as activation or update mechanisms relevant to Linux distributions.
- Include Linux-specific endpoints or port requirements (e.g., for package repositories, security updates, or monitoring agents).
- Provide cross-platform examples for network configuration, such as Azure CLI/Bash commands alongside PowerShell.
- Clarify which requirements are Windows-only and which are applicable to all platforms.
- Add links to Linux-focused documentation for deploying and managing API Management in VNets.
