Summary
The documentation consistently uses Windows Server as the default VM image in all examples, both in the Azure Portal and CLI/PowerShell instructions. There are no examples or guidance for deploying or diagnosing Linux VMs, nor are Linux-specific considerations mentioned. The documentation also uses Windows-centric terminology and patterns (e.g., username/password for Windows, Windows image names), and does not provide parity for Linux users who may want to use SSH keys or Linux images.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM creation examples in all sections, showing how to select a popular Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu) and use SSH keys for authentication.
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux-specific steps, such as configuring SSH access and using Linux image references in CLI/PowerShell commands.
  • Clarify that the NSG diagnostics process applies to both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide troubleshooting tips relevant to Linux scenarios.
  • Ensure that CLI and PowerShell examples use generic or parameterized image names, or alternate between Windows and Linux images.
  • Mention Linux-specific security group considerations, such as port 22 for SSH, in rule creation examples.
