Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux coverage for Azure Image Builder, but there are several areas where Windows tools and examples are presented first or more prominently. PowerShell is frequently used for checksum generation and resource management, sometimes before Linux equivalents are mentioned. Windows-specific customizers (PowerShell, WindowsRestart, WindowsUpdate) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are less emphasized or explicitly noted as unavailable. Some example commands and troubleshooting steps use PowerShell as the primary tool, with Linux alternatives provided but not always equally detailed.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux/macOS commands (e.g., sha256sum, Azure CLI) are presented alongside or before Windows/PowerShell equivalents, especially in sections about checksum generation and resource management.
  • Where PowerShell is used for examples (e.g., resource actions, validation), provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI examples for Linux/macOS users.
  • Expand explanations and examples for Linux-specific customizers and validators, matching the detail given to Windows customizers.
  • Avoid language such as 'there is no Linux restart customizer' without offering Linux workarounds (e.g., using Shell customizer to run 'sudo reboot').
  • In troubleshooting and operational sections, ensure Linux/macOS commands are as prominent as Windows commands.
  • Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux examples, or grouping them by OS for clarity.
