Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform and explicitly states applicability to both Linux and Windows VMs. However, there are several instances where Windows terminology, tools, or documentation are mentioned first or exclusively, and some links and examples are Windows-centric. For example, partitioning and disk size limitations are explained with references to Windows MBR/GPT documentation, and the process for creating images links only to a Windows-specific guide. In the upload VHD section, both Azure CLI (Linux) and PowerShell (Windows) are linked, but the image creation section only references Windows. Some disk management concepts (like drive letters) are described in Windows terms before or instead of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • When discussing disk partitioning and size limits, include Linux-specific guidance and documentation (e.g., referencing Linux partitioning tools and GPT/MBR handling).
  • For the 'Images' section, provide or link to Linux-specific instructions for creating managed images from generalized Linux VMs.
  • When describing disk roles and mounting, ensure Linux device paths and conventions (e.g., /dev/sdX, mount points) are mentioned alongside or before Windows drive letters.
  • In all sections where both Azure CLI and PowerShell are relevant, ensure both are always referenced and that Linux-first examples are included where appropriate.
  • Review all links to ensure parity between Linux and Windows documentation, especially for critical VM lifecycle tasks.
