Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several examples and workarounds reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, sqlcmd, PowerShell cmdlets, RDP), and some instructions are given only for Windows environments. In some cases, Windows commands are presented without Linux equivalents, and Windows-centric troubleshooting steps are described before or instead of Linux alternatives. However, there are also Linux-relevant details (e.g., Ubuntu updates, NFS client errors, AzCopy usage), and some Linux guidance is present, mitigating the overall impact.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line examples (e.g., show both Windows and Linux mount commands for NFS shares).
- Include troubleshooting steps for Linux VMs alongside Windows VM instructions, especially for custom script extension issues.
- Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., rsync for file copying) in addition to Windows-only tools like robocopy and Explorer.
- Ensure that PowerShell and Windows cmdlet instructions are paired with Bash or Linux shell alternatives where relevant.
- Clarify when instructions are Windows-specific and offer Linux/macOS alternatives in parallel.
- Add explicit Linux examples for connecting to SQL Server (e.g., using sqlcmd on Linux or Azure Data Studio).
