Summary:
The documentation consistently references and links to Windows-based virtual machine creation guides in all prerequisite sections, omitting Linux VM equivalents. All examples and instructions are provided in Azure Portal, Azure PowerShell, and Azure CLI formats, but there are no explicit Linux-specific instructions, notes, or examples. This results in a subtle but clear bias toward Windows environments, especially for users looking for Linux parity in VM setup and management.
Recommendations:
- In the prerequisites for each method, provide links to both Windows and Linux VM creation guides (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/linux/quick-create-portal and /azure/virtual-machines/linux/quick-create-cli) alongside the Windows links.
- Explicitly mention that the Azure CLI examples are cross-platform and can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and consider adding a note or example showing CLI usage in a Linux shell (e.g., bash).
- Where relevant, clarify any differences or additional steps for Linux VMs (for example, if NIC-based pools or IP configuration steps differ).
- Ensure that all references to VM creation, management, and Azure CLI usage are inclusive of Linux users, not just Windows.
- Consider adding a short section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any Linux-specific considerations or confirming that the instructions are fully applicable to Linux environments.
