Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-centric bias in several areas. Windows technologies, tools, and terminology are frequently mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., Hyper-V, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, Windows Server, RDP, PowerShell), with Linux equivalents either mentioned later, in passing, or omitted. Example commands and operational guidance often reference Windows or PowerShell, with Linux/CLI alternatives less prominent or missing. This can make the documentation less accessible or actionable for Linux-focused users.
Recommendations:
- Ensure all operational guidance, examples, and tool references are provided for both Windows and Linux platforms, with parity in detail and order of presentation.
- When describing Azure features (e.g., VM provisioning, disk encryption, remote access), always include both Windows and Linux workflows, including CLI and SSH examples, not just PowerShell or RDP.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology as the default; instead, use platform-neutral language or explicitly mention both platforms (e.g., 'Windows Firewall and Linux iptables').
- In tables or lists, alternate the order of Windows and Linux entries or present them side-by-side.
- Where Windows tools or technologies are referenced (e.g., BitLocker, Hyper-V, Windows Firewall), ensure Linux equivalents (e.g., dm-crypt, KVM, iptables/firewalld) are also described with equal depth.
- Provide links to Linux-specific Azure documentation alongside Windows links.
- Review all examples and ensure that for every PowerShell or Windows-centric example, a Linux/CLI/SSH equivalent is present.
