Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on deploying VM extensions to Windows VMs using PowerShell scripts and Windows-specific tooling (e.g., Install-WindowsFeature, powershell.exe). All examples, templates, and walkthroughs are for Windows VMs, with no mention of Linux VMs, Bash scripts, or Linux-specific extensions. The tutorial title and content do not clarify that it is Windows-only, and Linux users are not provided with equivalent guidance.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples for deploying extensions to Linux VMs, such as using the Custom Script Extension to run Bash scripts.
  • Include sample ARM template snippets for Linux VM extensions (e.g., using commandToExecute: 'bash installWebServer.sh').
  • Provide links to documentation about Linux VM extensions and their usage.
  • Clarify in the introduction that the tutorial is Windows-specific, or restructure to cover both platforms.
  • Show both PowerShell and Bash commands for tasks like password generation and public IP retrieval.
  • Mention Linux equivalents for tools and patterns (e.g., apt-get for installing web servers).
