Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows Server is used as the default and only example OS for the virtual machine throughout the guide. VM creation steps and code samples (PowerShell and Azure CLI) exclusively reference Windows images, with no mention of Linux alternatives. The portal instructions also default to Windows Server. PowerShell is featured prominently as a scripting option, which is more common in Windows environments. There are no Linux-specific examples, nor is there guidance for Linux VM creation or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux VM creation examples in the portal, PowerShell, and Azure CLI sections (e.g., using Ubuntu or other common Linux images).
  • Explicitly mention that the steps apply to both Windows and Linux VMs, and clarify any OS-specific differences.
  • Include troubleshooting notes or examples relevant to Linux VMs, such as SSH connectivity or Linux-specific ports.
  • Balance scripting examples by highlighting Bash or cross-platform CLI usage where appropriate, and clarify that Azure CLI works on Linux/macOS.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, note that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, but CLI is often preferred on Linux/macOS.
