Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server and related tools in requirements and examples. Windows operating systems and tools (such as Windows Firewall, RDP, and .NET Framework) are mentioned first or exclusively in several sections, while Linux-specific instructions are less detailed or provided after Windows ones. There are also references to Windows-centric URLs and services (e.g., time.windows.com, backup.windowsazure.com) and a lack of parity in troubleshooting or preparation steps for Linux VMs compared to Windows VMs.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-first or parallel Linux examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially in sections about firewall configuration, remote access, and VM preparation.
- Include Linux equivalents for all Windows tools and patterns mentioned (e.g., suggest using firewalld/iptables/ufw for Linux firewall configuration, and SSH for remote access).
- List Linux operating systems and requirements before or alongside Windows ones in tables and support matrices.
- Offer detailed, step-by-step Linux preparation and troubleshooting guidance, matching the detail given for Windows (e.g., how to enable SSH, check firewall rules, and verify disk/partition layout).
- Reference Linux time synchronization options (e.g., chrony, ntpd) alongside Windows time services.
- Where URLs or services are Windows-specific, clarify Linux alternatives or note cross-platform applicability.
