Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. The primary workflow for creating a Linux image relies on Windows-specific tools (Hyper-V Manager and PowerShell), with step-by-step instructions and screenshots for these. Linux-native hypervisors (like KVM) and workflows are mentioned only briefly and not documented in detail. Upload instructions reference Windows/Powershell guides, and Linux alternatives are not provided or are referenced indirectly. This creates friction for users on Linux or macOS who wish to perform the same tasks natively.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel workflow for Linux users, detailing how to create and prepare a VHD using KVM or other common Linux hypervisors.
- Include step-by-step instructions for converting and resizing disks using Linux tools (e.g., qemu-img, dd).
- Provide upload instructions using Azure CLI or AzCopy from Linux/macOS, with explicit examples.
- Ensure screenshots and examples are balanced between Windows and Linux environments.
- Reference and link to Linux-specific documentation where possible, and clarify which steps are OS-agnostic.
