Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps for preparing VHDs reference Windows-specific tools (PowerShell's Convert-VHD and Get-VHD) and link to Windows-focused guides. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples for VHD conversion or inspection. The 'Next steps' section highlights Azure PowerShell (Windows-centric) as a deployment method, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may need to perform similar tasks.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and examples for converting and inspecting VHDs using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., qemu-img, vhd-util, or VBoxManage).
  • Add links to cross-platform or Linux/macOS-specific guides for preparing VHDs.
  • Mention and provide examples for using Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) for VM deployment and management.
  • Present Windows and Linux/macOS examples side-by-side or clarify which steps are platform-specific.
