Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for preparing and uploading a Red Hat Enterprise Linux VHD for Azure, covering multiple hypervisors (Hyper-V, KVM, VMware, Kickstart). However, throughout the guide, Windows-centric tools and workflows (notably Hyper-V Manager) are consistently presented first and in greater detail. References to Windows tools (e.g., Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell convert-vhd cmdlet) appear before Linux equivalents, and the VM creation workflow often assumes Hyper-V as the starting point, even for Linux VMs. Linux-native hypervisors (KVM, VMware) are covered, but their sections are secondary and sometimes reference steps from the Hyper-V workflow, reinforcing Windows as the default environment.
Recommendations
- Reorder sections so Linux-native hypervisors (KVM, VMware, Kickstart) are presented before or alongside Hyper-V, reflecting the primary audience for RHEL.
- Provide Linux-native disk conversion instructions (e.g., qemu-img) before Windows/Hyper-V tools.
- Avoid referencing Hyper-V Manager as the default VM creation tool for Linux VMs; instead, highlight virt-manager, virsh, or VMware Workstation/ESXi.
- Clarify that PowerShell and Hyper-V tools are optional for users on Windows, and provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands wherever possible.
- Ensure that all steps referenced from Hyper-V sections are fully explained in Linux-native hypervisor sections, rather than requiring cross-referencing.
