Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by consistently linking to Windows-specific documentation (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/windows/instance-metadata-service) for further information, including supported HTTP verbs and rate limiting. There are no references to Linux or cross-platform equivalents, nor are Linux/macOS usage patterns or troubleshooting steps mentioned. This may create friction for Linux users seeking parity or platform-specific guidance.
Recommendations
- Include links to both Windows and Linux versions of the Azure Instance Metadata Service documentation (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/linux/instance-metadata-service).
- Ensure that mitigation steps and examples reference cross-platform tools (e.g., curl, wget, bash) in addition to any Windows-specific tools.
- Add a section or note clarifying that the guidance applies to both Windows and Linux VMs, and highlight any platform-specific differences.
- Present examples and documentation links for Linux/macOS first or in parallel with Windows, rather than Windows-only or Windows-first.
