Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Windows terminology and examples are prioritized (e.g., referencing 'Windows VM' specifically and showing screenshots of Windows VM sizing), while Linux is only mentioned in passing or as a secondary consideration. There are no Linux-specific examples or screenshots, and no mention of Linux command-line tools or workflows for cost management. The documentation assumes usage of the Azure Portal UI, which is platform-agnostic, but when OS-specific references are made, Windows is foregrounded.
Recommendations:
- Include examples and screenshots for both Windows and Linux VMs when discussing cost estimation and management.
- When referencing VM sizes or features (such as auto-shutdown), provide parallel information for Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
- If mentioning OS-specific workflows (e.g., shutting down VMs from within the OS), clarify the process for both Windows and Linux.
- Where possible, mention or link to command-line tools (such as Azure CLI or Bash scripts) that are commonly used on Linux, in addition to portal-based workflows.
- Ensure that references to downloadable files (e.g., Excel price sheets) are accompanied by notes on how they can be used on Linux (e.g., with LibreOffice or CSV viewers).
- Review all screenshots and examples to ensure Linux parity, not just Windows-centric illustrations.
