Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Linux and Windows in most areas, especially in Azure CLI and ARM template examples. However, there is a notable bias in the PowerShell sections, where only Windows-based examples are provided (e.g., using Windows images, Windows-specific parameters, and RDP security rules). Additionally, in some PowerShell code, the Windows scenario is shown first or exclusively, and Windows-centric tools and patterns (like RDP port rules) are used without Linux equivalents. The overall structure tends to present Windows/PowerShell before Linux in some places.
Recommendations
  • Add PowerShell examples for Linux VMs, including using Linux images and Linux-specific configuration (e.g., SSH port rules instead of RDP).
  • Where PowerShell is shown, provide both Windows and Linux variants, or clearly indicate which OS the example applies to.
  • In PowerShell network security group examples, include SSH (port 22) rules for Linux, not just RDP (port 3389) for Windows.
  • When listing deployment methods or examples, alternate the order or present Linux and Windows equally, rather than defaulting to Windows/PowerShell first.
  • Review all code snippets and ensure that Linux users can follow along without needing to translate Windows-specific steps.
