Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in its instructions for creating the prerequisite VM. Only PowerShell commands are provided, with explicit selection of PowerShell in Azure Cloud Shell, and references to Windows-specific username/password requirements. There are no Bash or Azure CLI examples, nor guidance for Linux users, even though the Azure Cloud Shell supports Bash and Linux VMs are common in Azure. The resource group and VM names also use 'Win' and imply a Windows VM, but the dashboard creation itself is not inherently Windows-specific.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI instructions for creating the resource group and VM, including examples for Linux VM creation.
  • Clarify that users may use either PowerShell or Bash in Cloud Shell, and link to documentation for both.
  • Use more neutral resource group and VM names (e.g., 'SimpleVmResourceGroup', 'myVM1') unless the dashboard template is strictly Windows VM-specific.
  • Include notes or links for Linux VM username/password requirements if relevant.
