windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric resources and tools before or instead of Linux equivalents. The only example template linked is for deploying a Windows VM with data disks, with no Linux VM example provided. Additionally, the 'Next steps' section directs users to a PowerShell deployment guide, with no mention of Azure CLI or Linux-specific deployment instructions. While Azure CLI is mentioned in passing regarding version requirements, practical examples and links are Windows/PowerShell-focused.
Recommendations:
- Include example templates for both Windows and Linux VM deployments, or provide a generic example that is OS-agnostic.
- In the 'Example templates' table, add a Linux VM example (e.g., a link to a quickstart template for Linux VMs with data disks).
- In the 'Next steps' section, add links to deploying ARM templates using Azure CLI and Bash, not just PowerShell.
- When mentioning deployment tools (Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI), present them in parallel and provide equal guidance/examples for both.
- Ensure that any referenced quickstart templates or tutorials have both Windows and Linux variants, or clarify their applicability.
