Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux coverage in the CLI and API sections, but there are notable signs of Windows bias. PowerShell examples and references are consistently present and detailed, while there is no mention of Bash or Linux-native scripting. The ARM template example is Windows-centric, with only Windows Server images and parameters. Windows-specific terminology (e.g., password complexity, RDP port 3389) appears in portal and ARM template instructions. Linux parity is present in CLI examples (e.g., Ubuntu image), but overall, Windows tools and patterns are more prominent and detailed.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific ARM template examples, including imageReference for popular Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
  • Provide Bash or shell script equivalents for PowerShell commands, or clarify that CLI commands are cross-platform.
  • In portal instructions, mention Linux-specific options (e.g., SSH authentication, Linux username requirements) alongside Windows password guidance.
  • In ARM template parameters, include Linux OS versions and adjust security rules to show SSH (port 22) as well as RDP (port 3389).
  • Balance PowerShell and CLI coverage, ensuring CLI examples are as detailed as PowerShell and clearly marked as cross-platform.
