Summary:
The documentation generally presents Windows tools and workflows before Linux equivalents, particularly in the section about creating VHDs, where Windows Hyper-V is mentioned as the default tool for both Windows and Linux images. There is a notable absence of Linux-native tooling (such as KVM, qemu-img, or VirtualBox) for creating VHDs, and the only example of on-premises image creation references Windows Hyper-V. While both Windows and Linux are acknowledged throughout, Windows-centric tools and patterns are prioritized or exclusively mentioned in some key steps.
Recommendations:
- When describing how to create VHDs for custom images, include Linux-native tools such as KVM, qemu-img, or VirtualBox alongside Hyper-V, with links to relevant documentation.
- Where steps differ for Windows and Linux, provide parallel, side-by-side instructions or clearly separate sections for each OS.
- Avoid presenting Windows tools as the default or only option for cross-platform workflows; instead, introduce both Windows and Linux options together.
- Consider adding a summary table or matrix showing supported tools and workflows for both Windows and Linux environments.
