Summary
The documentation provides clear, parallel instructions for both Linux and Windows VM generalization. However, the Windows section includes more detailed prerequisites and troubleshooting steps, and Windows PowerShell/Command Prompt examples are shown before their Linux equivalents in some places. The Linux section is concise and relies heavily on waagent, while the Windows section uses multiple Windows-specific tools and registry edits. Both OSes are covered, but Windows examples and tools are somewhat more prominent.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux prerequisites are as detailed as Windows prerequisites, including troubleshooting tips and common pitfalls.
  • Provide Linux CLI alternatives for all Azure CLI and PowerShell commands (e.g., show az CLI usage for both OSes, not just in Linux section).
  • Consider presenting Linux and Windows sections in parallel structure, or alternate which OS is shown first in examples.
  • Expand Linux section to include more context about potential issues, similar to the Windows section.
  • Where possible, avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'Command Prompt') without Linux equivalents (e.g., 'Terminal').
