Summary

The documentation exclusively provides examples for Windows virtual machines, referencing only azurerm_windows_virtual_machine resources. There are no examples or guidance for Linux virtual machines or their configuration assignments. Additionally, the 'get-started' link points specifically to a Windows PowerShell guide, further reinforcing a Windows-centric approach.

Recommendations

Add parallel examples for Linux virtual machines using azurerm_linux_virtual_machine resources.
Include built-in configuration assignment examples relevant to Linux (e.g., CIS Linux Baseline).
Update or supplement the 'get-started' link to include Linux and cross-platform guides, not just Windows PowerShell.
Explicitly mention support for both Windows and Linux, and provide guidance on any differences in configuration assignment between the two platforms.
