Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by primarily describing and illustrating the process using Windows-specific tools (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell), and by assuming the user is operating from a Windows environment. Linux-native workflows and tooling (such as KVM, qemu-img, or Linux shell commands) are only briefly mentioned or referenced externally, with no step-by-step guidance provided for users on Linux hosts. The upload process also references Windows-centric tools and documentation, and PowerShell is suggested for disk operations without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide a parallel, step-by-step workflow for preparing and converting a Linux image using Linux-native tools (e.g., KVM, qemu-img, virt-manager).
- Include Linux command-line examples for resizing and converting disk images, such as using qemu-img.
- When referencing upload tools, mention and provide examples for AzCopy and Azure CLI usage on Linux, not just from a Windows context.
- Ensure links to documentation for Linux-based image preparation are as prominent as those for Windows/Hyper-V.
- Avoid assuming the user is on Windows; clarify which steps are OS-specific and offer alternatives.
- Add screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux environments where appropriate.
