Summary
The documentation exhibits several Windows-centric biases. Most code examples (Bicep, ARM template, PowerShell, Azure CLI) focus on creating and managing Windows VMs, with explicit references to Windows images and extension types (HybridWorkerForWindows). Linux equivalents are either missing, mentioned only in passing, or relegated to notes. PowerShell is heavily featured, and Windows-specific requirements (e.g., Windows PowerShell 5.1, .NET Framework) are detailed, while Linux requirements are less emphasized. In step-by-step migration and extension installation instructions, Windows is prioritized, and Linux guidance is minimal or absent.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux examples for Bicep, ARM template, PowerShell, and Azure CLI, including explicit use of Linux VM images and the HybridWorkerForLinux extension type.
- Ensure all steps and prerequisites are equally detailed for Linux, including package installation, permissions, and troubleshooting.
- List Linux instructions and examples alongside Windows, not after or in notes, to demonstrate parity.
- Include Linux-specific PowerShell Core usage and clarify support for Linux automation scenarios.
- Add troubleshooting and removal steps for Linux with the same depth as Windows.
