Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Windows and Linux VMs, as indicated in the 'Applies to' section and CLI examples (with Ubuntu image). However, there are signs of Windows bias: PowerShell examples are always present, ARM template examples are Windows-centric (only Windows images and OS versions), and Windows-specific parameters are used in templates. The ARM template section lacks Linux image examples or parameters. Additionally, Windows terminology and tools (PowerShell) are referenced throughout, and in some sections (ARM template), Windows is the default or only option.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux image options and parameters to ARM template examples (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.).
  • Include Linux-specific OSVersion values and imageReference blocks in ARM templates.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are for Windows users and provide Bash or shell script equivalents for Linux/macOS users where relevant.
  • Ensure that CLI and API examples consistently use both Windows and Linux VM images, or alternate between them.
  • Consider providing a sample ARM template for a Linux VM alongside the Windows example.
