Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed, step-by-step troubleshooting instructions and examples specifically for Windows VMs, including PowerShell commands, File Explorer navigation, and references to Windows-specific paths and tools. Linux troubleshooting is only referenced via a link, with no in-page guidance or examples. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., File Explorer, Command Prompt, C:\ paths) are mentioned exclusively, and PowerShell is the only CLI example provided.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux examples and instructions alongside Windows steps, including explicit Linux file paths and log locations.
  • Include Azure CLI or Bash command examples in addition to PowerShell, especially for checking VM artifact status.
  • Describe how to access and interpret Custom Script Extension logs on Linux VMs directly in the document, rather than linking out.
  • Reference Linux tools (e.g., SSH, less, cat, tail) and shell navigation where appropriate.
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps are presented for both Windows and Linux VMs in each relevant section, not just as a footnote or external link.
