Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows by exclusively deploying a Windows VM ('SimpleWinVM'), referencing Windows-specific username/password requirements, and linking only to Windows VM documentation. The examples and scripts use Azure CLI and PowerShell, which are cross-platform, but the VM deployment and supporting links are Windows-centric. There are no examples or notes for deploying a Linux VM, nor are Linux username/password requirements or Linux VM documentation referenced.
Recommendations
  • Provide an alternative example that deploys a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows VM example.
  • Include links to Linux VM documentation for username and password requirements.
  • Clarify that the Azure CLI and PowerShell examples work on Linux/macOS, and show any OS-specific differences if relevant.
  • Use a more neutral VM name (e.g., 'SimpleVM') and parameterize the OS type in the Bicep/ARM template.
  • Add a note explaining how Linux users can adapt the example for their preferred OS.
