Summary
The documentation page, while focused on Ubuntu Linux VHD creation for Azure, exhibits notable Windows bias. Hyper-V (a Windows-only virtualization tool) is referenced as the primary example for creating VHDs, with links to Windows documentation. Steps involving VM management and VHD conversion are described using Hyper-V Manager and the Convert-VHD PowerShell cmdlet, with no Linux-native alternatives (such as qemu-img or KVM) provided. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and exclusively in several critical steps, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-native instructions for creating and managing VHDs (e.g., using qemu-img, KVM, or VirtualBox).
- Provide Linux/macOS alternatives for VHD conversion (e.g., qemu-img convert).
- Include steps for shutting down or managing VMs using Linux tools (e.g., virsh, virt-manager).
- Reorder examples so Linux-native tools are presented first or alongside Windows tools.
- Clarify that Hyper-V and Convert-VHD are Windows-specific, and link to Linux/macOS equivalents.
