Summary:
The documentation exclusively focuses on creating and backing up an Azure Windows virtual machine, with no mention or example of Linux VMs. All VM-related steps, variable names, and next steps reference Windows specifically. There are no Linux equivalents or guidance for users who wish to back up Linux VMs, and the documentation does not provide parity in examples or terminology.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions and Terraform code samples for creating and backing up a Linux virtual machine in Azure.
- Update checklist and step descriptions to reference both Windows and Linux VMs, or clarify that the process is similar for Linux with links to relevant documentation.
- Include example variable names and outputs for Linux VMs (e.g., azurerm_linux_virtual_machine_name) alongside Windows examples.
- Add a 'Next steps' link to articles about Azure Linux VMs and their backup procedures.
- Consider renaming the article or clearly stating in the introduction that it is Windows-specific, and provide a cross-link to a Linux-focused quickstart if available.
