windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively using Windows VM examples, PowerShell scripts, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Install-WindowsFeature, IIS). There are no Linux VM or Bash script examples, and all instructions and templates are tailored to Windows environments. Linux equivalents are not mentioned or provided.
Recommendations:
- Include parallel Linux examples throughout the tutorial, such as deploying a Custom Script Extension to install Apache or Nginx on a Linux VM using a Bash script.
- Provide both PowerShell and Bash script samples for the Custom Script Extension.
- Reference and link to Linux-specific quickstart templates (e.g., 'Deploy a simple Linux VM') alongside the Windows template.
- Show how to retrieve the public IP address using both Azure CLI (az) and Azure PowerShell.
- Ensure that all steps (preparation, editing, deployment, cleanup) have Linux alternatives and are presented with equal prominence.
- Mention and link to the Linux VM extensions documentation and features.
