Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows. All examples use Windows VMs, PowerShell scripts, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Install-WindowsFeature, powershell.exe). There is no mention of Linux VM extensions, Bash scripts, or Linux configuration patterns. The tutorial title and flow focus exclusively on Windows, with no Linux parity or alternative paths.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples for deploying VM extensions to Linux VMs, including Bash scripts and Linux-specific configuration (e.g., installing Apache or Nginx).
- Include links to both Windows and Linux extension documentation at the start.
- Show how to use Custom Script Extension with Bash or Python scripts on Linux VMs.
- Provide a Linux quickstart template (e.g., 'Deploy a simple Linux VM') and walk through editing it.
- Demonstrate retrieving the public IP address using Azure CLI or Bash commands, not only PowerShell.
- Clarify in the introduction that the tutorial is Windows-specific, or broaden the scope to cover both platforms.
