Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and tooling references are specific to Windows (Hyper-V, PowerShell, Windows Firewall, SysPrep, etc.), with no mention of Linux-based workflows or alternatives. The process assumes the source image is Windows and the tooling is Windows-centric, with no guidance for users working from Linux environments or with Linux images.
Recommendations:
- Include parallel instructions for importing Linux images, including preparation steps (e.g., using qemu-img for disk conversion, cloud-init for initialization, and Linux-specific configuration).
- Provide examples using Linux-native tools (e.g., KVM/virt-manager for VM creation, shell commands for disk management, and Azure CLI for uploads).
- Mention and link to documentation for preparing and uploading Linux VMs to Azure, ensuring users know both Windows and Linux are supported.
- Avoid assuming the reader is using Windows by default; structure the documentation to present both Windows and Linux paths where applicable.
- If the service only supports Windows images, state this explicitly at the beginning to avoid confusion.
