Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux coverage, but there is a notable Windows bias. Windows examples, especially PowerShell-based, are presented first and in greater detail. Many code samples and templates (Bicep, ARM) focus exclusively on Windows VM creation and extension installation, with Linux equivalents either missing or less emphasized. Windows-specific requirements and troubleshooting steps are more thoroughly documented, while Linux instructions are often brief or absent. The use of PowerShell as the primary automation tool further reinforces the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or side-by-side examples for all code samples, especially in Bicep, ARM templates, and REST API sections.
- Include explicit Linux VM creation and extension installation steps in Bicep and ARM template examples.
- Offer Bash or shell script alternatives to PowerShell for Linux users, and clarify when PowerShell Core is required/supported on Linux.
- Expand Linux-specific troubleshooting, permissions, and configuration guidance to match the depth provided for Windows.
- Ensure all platform-specific requirements (e.g., CPU quota, hardening, package dependencies) are equally detailed and easy to find.
