Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias. In the prerequisites section, the link to 'Upload a VHD image in your Azure Storage account' references a page with a Windows-specific tab ('tabs=windows'), suggesting Windows instructions are primary or default. There is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS workflows or examples for uploading VHDs, nor are Linux tools (such as azcopy on Linux, or CLI commands) referenced. All instructions focus on the Azure portal UI, which is cross-platform, but the only workflow that references OS-specific tooling defaults to Windows.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that linked instructions for uploading VHDs to Azure Storage include Linux/macOS examples and tools (e.g., azcopy usage on Linux, Azure CLI commands).
  • Avoid defaulting to Windows tabs in cross-platform documentation; present both Windows and Linux/macOS options equally.
  • Explicitly mention that the Azure portal steps are platform-agnostic, and provide links to CLI or PowerShell alternatives for both OS families if available.
  • Where screenshots or examples reference OS-specific actions, provide parity for Linux/macOS users.
