Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server VM deployment in examples, providing only Windows-based quickstart templates, and focusing heavily on Azure PowerShell for automation and scripting. There are no explicit Linux VM examples or Linux-specific instructions, and PowerShell is emphasized over cross-platform alternatives. The GitHub resources referenced also highlight PowerShell scripts, with no mention of Bash or Linux shell scripts.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux VM deployment examples alongside Windows examples, especially in quickstart and template walkthroughs.
- Provide automation instructions and links for both Azure CLI (cross-platform) and Azure PowerShell, ensuring parity in depth and detail.
- Reference and link to Bash or shell script samples in the GitHub repository, or add such scripts if they do not exist.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology or tools as the default; present cross-platform options first or in parallel.
- Add screenshots and walkthroughs that demonstrate Linux VM creation and management in DevTest Labs.
