Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All image examples are Windows-based (Windows 10/11, Visual Studio), and all technical instructions (such as sysprep, DISM, enabling features, and disk maintenance) reference Windows tools, commands, and PowerShell. There are no examples or guidance for creating or managing Linux-based images, nor are Linux-compatible tools or workflows mentioned. The requirements and optimizations are tailored exclusively for Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and requirements for Linux-based images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) where supported by Azure Compute Gallery and Dev Box.
  • Provide equivalent Linux commands and workflows for image preparation, such as generalizing a Linux VM (using waagent -deprovision+user), resizing partitions, and optimizing images.
  • Mention Linux-compatible tools (e.g., bash, cloud-init) alongside Windows tools (PowerShell, DISM).
  • Clarify in prerequisites and requirements whether Linux images are supported or not. If not supported, state this explicitly to avoid confusion.
  • If Linux is supported, add screenshots and step-by-step instructions for Linux image creation and attachment, ensuring parity with the Windows-focused sections.
