Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is emphasized as a primary management and deployment tool, with multiple references and dedicated sections. Windows-specific tools and extensions (such as password reset via PowerShell) are highlighted, and Windows image preparation is listed before Linux or generalized approaches. While Linux is mentioned as a supported VM OS, Linux-specific examples, tools, or workflows are not provided or are less visible, and there is a lack of parity in example depth and guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and workflows alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions, such as using Bash, Azure CLI, or SSH for VM management.
- Ensure that Linux image preparation and deployment guides are as detailed and prominent as Windows guides.
- When listing options (e.g., image preparation, connection methods), alternate the order or present Windows and Linux equally.
- Include Linux-native tools and extensions (e.g., cloud-init, SSH key reset) where applicable, not just Windows/PowerShell-based solutions.
- Expand the 'Connect to your VM' and management sections with explicit Linux command-line examples and troubleshooting tips.
