Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific examples and links (such as PowerShell and Windows VM tutorials) are provided without Linux equivalents, especially in sections about restoring VMs with special configurations, availability sets, and network configurations. References to Windows tools and patterns (e.g., bcdedit, netdom, RDP, Windows-specific licensing) are present, while Linux-specific guidance is minimal or absent. Where Linux is mentioned, it is often as an aside, and no Linux command-line examples are given.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and links alongside Windows ones, especially for restoring VMs, configuring network settings, and managing restored VMs.
- Include Azure CLI and Bash script examples for operations currently only shown with PowerShell or Windows tools.
- Reference Linux documentation (e.g., for attaching disks, configuring network interfaces, resetting passwords) in parallel with Windows documentation.
- When mentioning Windows-specific tools (e.g., bcdedit, netdom), provide equivalent Linux troubleshooting steps (e.g., using GRUB, chroot, or cloud-init).
- Clarify which restore steps or limitations apply to Linux VMs, and explicitly document any differences in post-restore steps for Linux (e.g., SSH key management, agent installation).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., do not always mention Windows first or exclusively).
