Summary
The documentation page consistently references Windows-specific resources and links, such as '/azure/virtual-machines/windows/instance-metadata-service', without mentioning or linking to Linux/macOS equivalents. All example links and further reading are Windows-focused, and there are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions, examples, or troubleshooting guidance. This creates friction for non-Windows users who may need platform-specific details.
Recommendations
  • Include links to both Windows and Linux/macOS versions of the Azure Instance Metadata Service documentation.
  • Add examples and troubleshooting steps for Linux (e.g., using curl, bash, or other common Linux tools) alongside any Windows/Powershell examples.
  • Ensure parity in error code explanations and mitigation steps for all supported platforms.
  • Clearly indicate when instructions are platform-specific and provide alternatives for other platforms.
