Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux coverage for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets automatic OS image upgrades. However, there are several signs of Windows bias: Windows terminology and configuration properties (e.g., enableAutomaticUpdates, Windows Update) are discussed in detail, often before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. PowerShell examples (a Windows-centric tool) are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, but are listed first in most cases. ARM template and Bicep examples default to Windows images. Some explanations reference Windows-specific behaviors (e.g., drive letter reassignment) without Linux equivalents. However, Linux images and Azure CLI examples are present throughout, and the feature is not Windows-only.
Recommendations
- Ensure ARM template and Bicep examples use both Windows and Linux images, or provide Linux-focused variants.
- When discussing configuration properties, clarify Linux-specific requirements or behaviors alongside Windows (e.g., mention Linux patching differences).
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or explicitly state that Azure CLI is cross-platform.
- Add notes about Linux disk mount behavior (e.g., device naming) where Windows drive letter reassignment is mentioned.
- Where possible, use neutral language and avoid defaulting to Windows terminology when describing generic features.
