Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell scripts and cmdlets (e.g., Test-NetConnection, PowerShell functions) are used for troubleshooting and management tasks, with no equivalent Linux command-line examples provided. Windows/PowerShell tools are mentioned exclusively or before Linux alternatives. While some Linux-specific troubleshooting is included (e.g., cloud-init, waagent.conf), the main workflow and scripting guidance are Windows-centric, and Linux users are left to infer equivalent steps.
Recommendations
  • For every PowerShell or Windows command example (e.g., Test-NetConnection, PowerShell scripts for Azure Resource Manager), provide equivalent Linux shell commands (e.g., curl, wget, ping, netcat, az CLI).
  • When listing troubleshooting steps, avoid always presenting Windows/PowerShell first; alternate or present both Windows and Linux options together.
  • For VM image preparation and management, include explicit Linux-based workflows and commands (e.g., using qemu-img, Azure CLI on Linux, shell scripts).
  • Where Windows tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., Hyper-V, PowerShell), clarify Linux equivalents or note if not applicable.
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting for network and resource issues (e.g., using ip, ifconfig, systemctl, journalctl for logs).
  • Ensure that all users, regardless of OS, have clear, actionable steps without needing to translate Windows-centric instructions.
