Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. While it mentions that both Windows and Linux images are supported (e.g., in the OS type selection), all procedural steps, screenshots, and linked resources (such as uploading a VHD) are presented in a generic or Windows-centric manner. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples, screenshots, or command-line instructions (e.g., using Linux tools to prepare/upload images). The only reference to Linux is in a dropdown selection, with no further guidance or parity in examples.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux examples, such as preparing and uploading a Linux VHD using Linux tools (e.g., Azure CLI, azcopy on Linux, or shell commands).
  • Provide screenshots that show Linux image selection and deployment, not just generic or Windows-centric images.
  • Add a section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any differences or best practices when creating and uploading Linux VM images.
  • Ensure that linked resources (such as 'Upload a VHD image in your Azure Storage account') include Linux instructions and not just Windows/PowerShell steps.
  • When referencing OS types, alternate the order or provide equal prominence to Linux and Windows.
