Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively deploying Windows Server virtual machines in the Terraform example and referring only to Windows VMs throughout. There are no examples or mentions of deploying Linux VMs, nor are there instructions or notes for users who may wish to use Linux servers instead. This may give the impression that only Windows is supported or recommended in this scenario.
Recommendations
- Include parallel examples or instructions for deploying Linux virtual machines using azurerm_linux_virtual_machine alongside the Windows VM steps.
- Update the narrative to mention that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used, and provide guidance or code samples for both.
- Where VM credentials or configuration are discussed (such as random_password for Windows), add equivalent Linux-focused steps (e.g., SSH key generation).
- Ensure that any troubleshooting or verification steps are not specific to Windows and clarify cross-platform applicability.
- Consider rephrasing the description and checklist to refer to 'virtual machines' generically, or explicitly state that both Windows and Linux are supported.
