Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all programmatic steps, and also covers the Azure portal. However, in all CLI/PowerShell examples, the default VM image used is 'Win2016Datacenter', a Windows Server image. There are no explicit Linux VM image examples, and the variable names and instructions do not mention Linux. This creates a subtle Windows-first bias, as Linux users must know to substitute an appropriate Linux image. The use of PowerShell is not inherently biased, as Azure PowerShell is cross-platform, but the examples and context lean toward Windows usage patterns.
Recommendations
- In CLI and PowerShell examples, provide both Windows and Linux VM image examples (e.g., show 'UbuntuLTS' as an alternative to 'Win2016Datacenter').
- Explicitly mention that the VM image variable can be set to a Linux image and provide a sample value.
- Add a note or section clarifying how Linux users should adapt the examples, especially regarding authentication (e.g., SSH keys for Linux VMs instead of passwords).
- Where possible, show Linux-friendly authentication options (e.g., --authentication-type ssh for az vm create).
- Ensure that the documentation does not imply that only Windows VMs are supported or recommended.
