Summary
The documentation provides comprehensive instructions for creating and uploading a Red Hat Enterprise Linux VHD for Azure, covering multiple hypervisors (Hyper-V, KVM, VMware, Kickstart). However, there is a notable Windows bias: Hyper-V (a Windows-only tool) is presented first in nearly every major section and is referenced as the primary example for VM creation and disk conversion. Windows tools and terminology (e.g., Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell cmdlets like 'convert-vhd') are mentioned before their Linux equivalents. Linux/KVM/VMware instructions are present and detailed, but the ordering and framing prioritize Windows/Hyper-V scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Reorder sections so that Linux-native hypervisors (KVM, VMware, Kickstart) are presented before or alongside Hyper-V, especially since the audience is preparing Linux VMs.
  • Where disk conversion is discussed, mention Linux tools (e.g., qemu-img) before or alongside Windows tools (e.g., Hyper-V Manager, convert-vhd).
  • Clarify that Hyper-V steps are only required if using Windows, and highlight Linux-native workflows for users on Linux/macOS.
  • Consider a summary table at the top showing all supported hypervisors and their OS requirements, helping users quickly find relevant instructions.
  • Ensure that Linux/KVM/VMware instructions are equally prominent and not referenced as secondary or 'see also' content.
