Summary
The documentation covers automatic OS image upgrades for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets and is intended for both Windows and Linux workloads. However, there is evidence of Windows bias: Windows terminology and properties are often mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., 'enableAutomaticUpdates', 'Windows Update'), ARM template examples default to Windows images, and PowerShell examples are prominent. While Azure CLI examples are provided (which are cross-platform), there are no explicit Linux-specific configuration examples or notes about Linux-specific behaviors, and Windows-specific settings are discussed in detail without equivalent Linux guidance.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux-focused examples in ARM templates and Bicep (e.g., default to Ubuntu or Mariner images, not WindowsServer).
- Provide guidance or notes on Linux-specific configuration nuances (such as handling custom scripts, extension behaviors, or disk mounting differences).
- Ensure Linux terminology and settings are mentioned alongside Windows settings, not after or omitted.
- Balance PowerShell and CLI examples, and clarify that CLI is cross-platform.
- Where Windows-specific properties are discussed (e.g., 'enableAutomaticUpdates'), add a note about their irrelevance or Linux equivalents for Linux images.
