Summary
The documentation demonstrates notable Windows bias. The PowerShell section is extensive and exclusively uses Windows-centric tooling and VM images. All VM creation examples (both PowerShell and Azure CLI) use Windows Server images, with no mention of Linux alternatives. RDP (a Windows protocol) is used for remote access, with no SSH or Linux access examples. The PowerShell section is presented first and in much greater detail than the Azure CLI or ARM template sections. There are no Linux-specific instructions, troubleshooting, or parity examples.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM deployment examples (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Windows Server in both PowerShell and Azure CLI sections.
  • Provide SSH-based remote access instructions for Linux VMs, including network security group rules for port 22.
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux/macOS users, clarifying how to run Azure CLI commands on those platforms.
  • Balance the example order so that Azure CLI and ARM template instructions are not secondary to PowerShell.
  • Avoid exclusive use of Windows-specific protocols (RDP) and tools; offer alternatives for Linux.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for scripts and commands.
