Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows guidance and examples for creating image definitions and versions in Azure Compute Gallery. However, in several places, Windows/PowerShell examples are presented before Linux/CLI equivalents, and PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence than CLI. The CLI and REST examples are Linux-first, but the PowerShell examples default to Windows, and the portal instructions do not show OS-specific steps. Overall, Linux users can complete all tasks, but minor friction exists due to ordering and example selection.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that CLI and PowerShell examples alternate or are presented in parallel for both Linux and Windows, rather than defaulting to Windows in PowerShell and Linux in CLI.
  • In PowerShell sections, provide Linux examples first or clarify that the cmdlets work for both OS types.
  • In portal instructions, add explicit notes or screenshots for both Linux and Windows image creation flows if there are differences.
  • Where examples are shown, alternate the OS type (e.g., show a Linux PowerShell example, or a Windows CLI example) to avoid implicit bias.
  • Consider grouping OS-specific instructions together, or clearly labeling them as 'Linux' and 'Windows' for clarity.
