Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (such as PowerShell, sysprep, and Active Directory domain join) are often mentioned first or exclusively, and Windows-specific instructions are more detailed. While Linux is supported and included, Linux instructions are sometimes less prominent, and some advanced deployment steps (e.g., domain join) are only documented for Windows. PowerShell is referenced as a primary automation tool, with Azure CLI for Linux mentioned as an alternative rather than an equal. Some sections (such as joining a domain) are marked 'Windows only' with no Linux equivalent or guidance.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal prominence and detail, especially in step-by-step sections.
- Where a feature is Windows-only (e.g., domain join), explicitly state the Linux alternative or clarify the lack of equivalent functionality.
- Provide Linux-first or side-by-side examples for automation (e.g., Azure CLI, shell scripts) alongside PowerShell.
- Expand Linux-specific troubleshooting and configuration guidance to match the depth of Windows sections.
- Avoid defaulting to Windows tools or patterns in general guidance; instead, present both Linux and Windows options in parallel.
- Review and update the prerequisites section to clarify that a Linux workstation can be used for all Linux VM management tasks, not just as an alternative.
