Summary
The documentation provides clear, detailed instructions for both Linux and Windows VM generalization, but the Windows section includes more prerequisites, registry edits, and PowerShell-specific commands. The Windows example for marking the VM as generalized uses Azure PowerShell, while the Linux example uses Azure CLI. The Windows section appears after the Linux section, but the Windows-specific tooling (Sysprep, registry, PowerShell) is emphasized without mentioning Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives for some steps.
Recommendations
- Ensure parity in tooling: For marking a VM as generalized, provide both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for both Linux and Windows VMs.
- Clarify cross-platform options: Where Windows uses PowerShell, note that Azure CLI can be used on Windows as well, and show CLI syntax.
- Balance prerequisites: If possible, add more detail to Linux prerequisites, such as common pitfalls or distro-specific notes, to match the depth of the Windows section.
- Order examples consistently: Consider alternating the order of Linux and Windows examples or grouping cross-platform steps together.
- Reference cross-platform documentation: Link to Azure CLI and PowerShell docs for both OSes in the 'Related content' section.
