Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows resources and examples. The 'Deploy a protected VM using a Resource Manager template' section links only to a Windows VM template, with no Linux equivalent provided. Additionally, automation guidance references PowerShell without mentioning CLI or Bash alternatives. While both Windows and Linux quick-create links are present, Windows is listed first, and Linux-specific automation or template examples are missing.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel examples and links for Linux VMs, such as a Resource Manager template for deploying and backing up a Linux VM.
- Include automation instructions using Azure CLI or Bash scripts alongside PowerShell, ensuring Linux administrators have clear guidance.
- When referencing quick-create guides, alternate the order or present Windows and Linux equally to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Explicitly mention that all backup features and steps apply equally to Linux VMs, or note any differences.
- Audit screenshots and UI walkthroughs to ensure they are not Windows-centric, or provide Linux-relevant visuals where appropriate.
