Summary
The documentation is intended for both Linux and Windows VMs, but consistently uses Windows-centric examples (e.g., Win2016Datacenter image, password authentication, Windows admin username conventions) in all CLI and PowerShell code blocks. There are no Linux-specific VM image examples, nor guidance for Linux authentication or disk formatting. The Quickstart link in the Portal section points only to Windows VM creation. While the Azure CLI and PowerShell tools are cross-platform, the actual examples are Windows-only, creating friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux VM image examples (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Windows examples in CLI and PowerShell sections.
  • Include Linux authentication options (e.g., SSH key authentication) in CLI/PowerShell examples.
  • Add links to Linux VM Quickstart documentation in the Portal section.
  • Mention Linux disk initialization/formatting steps after disk attachment.
  • Alternate Windows and Linux examples, or show both in parallel where possible.
