Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed, step-by-step troubleshooting instructions and examples exclusively for Windows virtual machines, including PowerShell commands, Windows file paths, and screenshots of Windows tools (File Explorer, Command Prompt). Linux troubleshooting is only referenced via external links, with no in-page examples or equivalent walkthroughs. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first and in detail, while Linux users are directed elsewhere.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux examples for all troubleshooting steps, including equivalent Bash/CLI commands and Linux file paths.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments where Windows screenshots are shown.
  • Add in-page instructions for locating and inspecting Custom Script Extension logs on Linux VMs, not just a link.
  • Show how to check the Azure VM Agent status and logs on Linux, with sample log snippets.
  • Demonstrate how to run artifact installation scripts on Linux (e.g., using bash or sh), including how to handle script parameters and errors.
  • Ensure that references to tools (e.g., File Explorer, Command Prompt) are paired with their Linux equivalents (e.g., file managers, terminal).
  • When mentioning PowerShell or Windows-specific commands, immediately follow with the Linux/CLI equivalent, not just a reference link.
