Summary:
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. PowerShell is the only scripting example mentioned for automation (e.g., deleting all VMs), and adding users is described via the Azure portal or PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, CLI, or Linux-native automation. Creation and deployment examples (Bicep, ARM, Terraform) are linked with filenames referencing Windows VMs, and there are no explicit Linux VM creation examples. Artifact/tool examples (e.g., Visual Studio, Fiddler) are Windows-centric, and Windows terminology (Active Directory domain join) is highlighted without Linux equivalents. Linux scenarios, tools, and automation methods are not given equal prominence or examples.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-focused examples for VM creation, such as ARM/Bicep/Terraform templates specifically for Linux VMs.
- Provide automation examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts, not just PowerShell.
- Mention and link to Linux-native tools and artifacts (e.g., VS Code, Git, common Linux packages) alongside Windows tools.
- Ensure artifact and environment customization examples include Linux scenarios (e.g., joining to LDAP, installing Linux software).
- Balance references to Windows and Linux in both text and linked resources, and avoid Windows-first naming in example filenames.
- Explicitly mention that all features are available for both Windows and Linux, and provide parallel instructions where differences exist.
