arm_template_windows_only
Summary
The documentation covers both Windows and Linux VMs, but exhibits mild Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell examples are provided throughout, and the ARM template section only demonstrates Windows VM deployment. Windows-specific parameters (e.g., OSVersion) are prominent in the ARM template, and Windows images are used by default. In some sections, Windows terminology and tools (PowerShell, Windows image references) appear before or more prominently than Linux equivalents, despite the CLI examples using Ubuntu images.
Recommendations
  • Add a Linux-focused ARM template example, or clarify how to modify the template for Linux VM deployment (e.g., show publisher/offer/sku for Ubuntu or other distributions).
  • Balance PowerShell and CLI coverage by ensuring both are equally prominent and by mentioning Bash or shell scripting where relevant.
  • In ARM template parameters, include both Windows and Linux image options, or add guidance for Linux users.
  • Where Windows terminology appears first (e.g., administrator account password requirements, OSVersion), clarify applicability to Linux or provide Linux-specific guidance.
  • Consider alternating CLI and PowerShell order, or explicitly state that both Windows and Linux are supported for all command-line examples.
