Summary:
The documentation provides only Windows-based VM deployment examples (using MicrosoftWindowsServer images) and does not include any Linux VM examples. There are no Linux-specific instructions, images, or notes, and the only OS-specific step (VM creation) defaults to Windows. No PowerShell or Windows-only CLI commands are present, but the lack of Linux parity in examples is a clear bias.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel Linux VM creation examples using popular distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside the Windows examples.
- Include a note or section explaining how to select Linux images with az vm create, and provide sample image URNs.
- Where OS-specific steps are required (such as RDP vs SSH), provide both Windows (RDP) and Linux (SSH) network security group rule examples.
- Clarify in the prerequisites or introduction that the instructions apply to both Windows and Linux, and highlight any differences.
- Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux examples or presenting them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.
