Summary
The documentation covers both Linux and Windows VM image creation with Azure Image Builder, providing parity in most areas. However, there are several sections where Windows/PowerShell tools and examples are emphasized or shown first, such as checksum generation (PowerShell cmdlets), restart customizer (Windows only), and validation examples (PowerShell shown before Shell). Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., PowerShell, Sysprep, shutdown.exe) are referenced more frequently and sometimes before Linux equivalents. Linux instructions are present but occasionally secondary.
Recommendations
  • Where PowerShell is referenced for tasks like checksum generation, add Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., sha256sum) alongside or before the Windows instructions.
  • For customizer and validator examples, alternate the order so Linux/Shell examples are shown first or equally prominent.
  • Explicitly note Linux limitations (e.g., no Linux restart customizer) and suggest workarounds or alternatives if possible.
  • Ensure all CLI instructions are clearly cross-platform and avoid referencing Windows tools exclusively unless necessary.
  • Where possible, provide links to Linux/macOS documentation for relevant tasks (e.g., file hash generation, script execution).
