Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently linking to Windows-specific Azure documentation (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/windows/spot-vms) as the primary or only reference for Spot VM concepts, pricing, and eviction policy. Linux equivalents are only mentioned in passing or as secondary references. There are no Linux-specific configuration examples or command-line instructions, and the documentation does not provide parity in examples or references for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide equal prominence to Linux documentation links (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/linux/spot-vms) alongside or before Windows links when discussing Spot VM concepts, pricing, and eviction policy.
- Include Linux-specific configuration examples or command-line instructions where relevant, especially in sections discussing VM configuration, eviction notification, and event handling.
- Ensure that references to Azure features (such as Scheduled Events) include both Windows and Linux documentation and usage patterns.
- Review all cross-references to ensure Linux users are not required to interpret Windows-centric instructions or adapt from Windows-first documentation.
- Consider adding a dedicated section or callouts for Linux users to clarify any differences or additional steps required for Linux-based clusters.
