Summary
The documentation covers both Linux and Windows VM image creation with Azure Image Builder, and provides parity for most features and examples. However, there is a notable Windows bias in several areas: PowerShell is frequently referenced for checksum generation and operational commands, Windows-specific customizers (PowerShell, WindowsRestart, WindowsUpdate) are described in detail, and Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets) are often mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. While Linux examples and shell customizers are present, instructions for generating checksums and some operational steps (e.g., validation, generalization) prioritize Windows/PowerShell. Windows customizer types are more numerous and described in greater detail than Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for checksum generation (e.g., always mention 'sha256sum' alongside 'Get-FileHash').
- Ensure Linux shell customizer examples are as detailed as Windows PowerShell examples, including advanced usage (e.g., error handling, exit codes).
- When listing customizer types, avoid listing Windows types first unless there is a technical reason; alternate or group by OS.
- For operational steps (e.g., starting/cancelling builds), ensure Azure CLI examples are shown before or alongside PowerShell, and clarify CLI works cross-platform.
- Where Windows-only customizers exist (e.g., WindowsRestart, WindowsUpdate), explicitly state Linux alternatives or limitations.
- Expand Linux validation examples to match the detail of Windows validation (e.g., show advanced shell validation scenarios).
