Summary
The documentation demonstrates a bias toward Windows by exclusively using Windows Server as the VM image in the scale set creation steps, with no mention or example of Linux images. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor is there guidance for Linux administrators regarding OS selection or configuration. The tutorial assumes Windows as the default, which may create friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-based VM image options (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in the scale set creation steps.
  • Provide guidance or examples for both Windows and Linux VM configurations, especially in sections where OS-specific settings may differ.
  • Add a note clarifying that the process is OS-agnostic and works for both Windows and Linux, unless there are exceptions.
  • Show examples of administrator account setup for Linux (e.g., SSH key authentication) alongside Windows password authentication.
