Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux guidance for upgrading Gen1 VMs to Trusted launch. However, Windows-specific tools (MBR2GPT.exe, Defrag, PowerShell) are described in detail and appear first, with Linux instructions following. Windows disk conversion and troubleshooting steps are more extensive, while Linux disk conversion is not covered (because most Marketplace Linux images already meet requirements). Azure CLI and ARM template examples are cross-platform, but PowerShell is shown first and used for template deployment. Overall, Linux users can complete the task, but Windows tools and patterns are emphasized.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or with equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
- For ARM template deployment, provide Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell.
- Expand Linux troubleshooting guidance for disk layout issues, even if rare, to match Windows detail.
- Clarify that Azure CLI and ARM templates are fully cross-platform and recommend them for Linux users.
- Consider adding links or references to Linux disk conversion tools (e.g., gdisk, parted) for custom images.
