Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias in several areas. References to PowerShell and Windows-specific tools appear before their Linux equivalents, and Windows OS configuration details (such as TLS settings) are discussed in greater depth than Linux. While Linux is acknowledged as a supported platform, examples and links (e.g., for discovering supported images) prioritize Windows tools like PowerShell, and Windows configuration guidance is more detailed. No critical functionality is Windows-only, but Linux users may experience minor friction due to the ordering and emphasis.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and links (e.g., show Azure CLI usage before or alongside PowerShell for listing supported images).
- Balance OS-specific configuration guidance, such as including details for managing TLS/cipher suites on Linux distributions.
- Ensure that references to tools and commands are presented in a cross-platform manner, or at least alternate the ordering between Windows and Linux.
- Explicitly mention supported Linux distributions and provide links to relevant documentation for Linux security hardening.
- Where possible, include example commands for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
