Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively deploying Windows Server virtual machines in the example template, referencing only Windows-based admin workflows (e.g., admin username/password for Windows VMs), and providing cleanup instructions solely via a PowerShell command. There are no Linux VM deployment options, nor are there CLI/bash examples for resource cleanup or management.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM options in the deployment template and documentation steps, or provide a parallel example using Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu).
  • When describing admin credentials, clarify differences for Linux (e.g., SSH key vs. password) and provide relevant instructions.
  • Add resource cleanup instructions using Azure CLI (az group delete) and bash, not just PowerShell.
  • Where possible, present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or at least mention Linux alternatives.
  • Avoid assuming the user is working from a Windows environment; provide cross-platform guidance.
