Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux guidance for Azure Image Builder, but there are several areas where Windows tools and patterns are emphasized or presented first. PowerShell is frequently referenced for checksum generation and template operations, sometimes before Linux equivalents. Windows-specific customizers (PowerShell, WindowsRestart, WindowsUpdate) are described in detail, while Linux customizers are less prominent. Some examples and notes use Windows terminology or tools (e.g., Get-FileHash, shutdown commands) before mentioning Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and macOS command-line examples (e.g., for checksum generation) are presented alongside or before Windows/PowerShell equivalents.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, also provide bash or shell alternatives for Linux/macOS users, especially for operations like file hash generation and template actions.
  • Balance the order of examples so that Linux and Windows are equally represented, or alternate which OS is shown first.
  • Clarify when a feature or customizer is Windows-only, and provide Linux equivalents or explicitly state when no equivalent exists.
  • Expand Linux-specific customizer and validator examples to match the detail given for Windows (e.g., more shell script examples, troubleshooting tips).
