Summary:
The documentation exclusively demonstrates how to back up a Windows virtual machine in Azure using Terraform. All examples, resource creation steps, and references are specific to Windows VMs, with no mention of Linux VM equivalents or how to adapt the process for Linux. The 'Next steps' section also directs users to more Windows VM articles, reinforcing the Windows-centric focus. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel instructions and Terraform code samples for creating and backing up a Linux virtual machine, including any differences in resource definitions or backup procedures.
- Update the checklist and step-by-step instructions to mention both Windows and Linux VM options, or provide a choice at the beginning for users to follow either path.
- Include links to additional documentation or articles focused on Linux VM backup with Terraform.
- Revise the 'Next steps' section to include resources for both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Clarify in the introduction that the guide is Windows-specific, or broaden the scope to cover both operating systems.
