Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively using Windows VM examples, PowerShell scripts, and Windows-specific tools (such as Install-WindowsFeature and IIS). There are no Linux VM examples, no Bash or shell script alternatives, and no mention of Linux extensions or tools. The template and deployment steps are all tailored to Windows environments, with no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel Linux examples throughout the tutorial, including deploying a Linux VM and using a Custom Script Extension to run a Bash script (e.g., installing Apache).
- Provide both PowerShell and Bash script samples for the Custom Script Extension.
- Include references and links to Linux VM extensions documentation, such as the Linux features page.
- Show how to retrieve the public IP address using both Azure CLI (az) and PowerShell.
- When mentioning tools or commands (e.g., Install-WindowsFeature), provide the Linux equivalent (e.g., apt-get install apache2).
- Ensure that the quickstart template section includes a Linux VM template alongside the Windows one.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are given equal prominence, or clearly indicate when content is Windows-specific.
