Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates several types of Windows bias. PowerShell is the only scripting example mentioned for automation (e.g., adding users, deleting VMs), with no reference to Bash, CLI, or Linux scripting alternatives. In the 'Lab creation' section, all code sample links reference Windows VMs (e.g., Bicep, ARM, Terraform templates for Windows), with no mention of Linux VM creation. Tools and artifacts examples are Windows-centric (e.g., Visual Studio, Fiddler), and Windows-specific patterns (Active Directory domain join) are referenced without Linux equivalents. Linux is only mentioned in passing, with no concrete examples or parity in instructions.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel examples for Linux VM creation using Bicep, ARM templates, and Terraform, and link to those alongside Windows examples.
- Include automation instructions and scripts using Azure CLI and Bash, not just PowerShell.
- Mention and provide examples of Linux tools and artifacts (e.g., installing common Linux development tools, editors, or agents).
- When referencing domain join or other Windows-specific features, also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., joining to LDAP or using SSH keys).
- Ensure that all user-facing instructions and quickstarts are available for both Windows and Linux scenarios, and present them with equal prominence.
