Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows examples and PowerShell commands are consistently presented before Linux equivalents. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, WindowsAzureGuestAgent, New-NetFirewallRule) are described in detail, while Linux instructions sometimes refer users to external documentation or provide less guidance. The VM creation links for Linux are inconsistent, and some Linux steps (e.g., firewall configuration) require users to consult their own distribution's documentation, whereas Windows steps are fully detailed.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side or alternate which comes first.
- Provide direct, detailed Linux command examples for all major distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE) rather than referring users to external documentation.
- Ensure VM creation links for Linux point to the correct template (the Ubuntu link currently points to the Windows template).
- Offer parity in troubleshooting and error messages for both platforms.
- Include more context and explanation for Linux-specific steps, matching the detail given to Windows instructions.
