Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-centric bias. It references Windows-specific tools (such as PowerShell and Windows Defender), describes extension behavior only in the context of Windows Server, and omits Linux equivalents or examples. All extension descriptions and deployment instructions assume a Windows environment, with no mention of Linux-based roles or how to achieve similar functionality on Linux. The 'Next steps' section lists PowerShell and Visual Studio (both Windows-centric) before mentioning templates, and does not mention Azure CLI or Linux-based workflows.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-specific guidance for each extension, such as how to configure and use them on Linux-based roles.
- Provide Azure CLI examples alongside or before PowerShell examples, especially for deployment and configuration tasks.
- Mention Linux security tools (e.g., ClamAV) where Microsoft Antimalware/Windows Defender is referenced, or clarify if Linux is unsupported.
- Explicitly state OS support for each extension, and if Linux is not supported, make this clear to avoid confusion.
- Add references to cross-platform tools and workflows (e.g., VS Code, Azure CLI, ARM/Bicep templates) in the 'Next steps' section.
