Summary:
The documentation is generally neutral and focused on JSON schema and Azure Resource Manager templates, but there is a subtle Windows bias. Several examples specify 'osPlatform': 'Windows' (e.g., for credentials, user name, and VM size selectors), and there are no examples or mentions of 'osPlatform': 'Linux' or Linux-specific configuration. The documentation does not provide parity or guidance for Linux scenarios, nor does it clarify cross-platform behavior for controls that support both Windows and Linux.
Recommendations:
- Add examples that use 'osPlatform': 'Linux' for relevant controls (e.g., credentials, user name, VM size selectors) to demonstrate Linux support.
- Explicitly mention when a control or property is cross-platform or Windows-specific, and provide Linux equivalents where applicable.
- Include notes or examples showing how to configure parameters and outputs for Linux virtual machines, especially for controls like Microsoft.Compute.UserNameTextBox and Microsoft.Compute.SizeSelector.
- If certain validation or constraints differ between Windows and Linux (e.g., allowed usernames, password policies), document those differences.
- Review all sample JSON to ensure Linux scenarios are represented equally alongside Windows.
