Summary:
The documentation exclusively demonstrates deploying a Windows Server VM, with instructions and screenshots focused on RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) for Windows-based access. There are no examples or guidance for deploying a Linux VM, nor are SSH or Linux-specific access methods mentioned. The use of RDP and Windows Server as the default image and connection method demonstrates a Windows-first and Windows-tools bias, with Linux scenarios entirely omitted.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel instructions for deploying a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) in the Azure Extended Zone, including selection of a Linux image in the 'Image' step.
- Include guidance and screenshots for configuring SSH access (port 22) for Linux VMs, alongside or instead of RDP.
- In the 'Connect to virtual machine' section, provide steps for connecting via SSH from Linux, macOS, and Windows clients (e.g., using ssh command-line tools or PuTTY).
- Where possible, present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or clarify that the instructions are specific to Windows and link to Linux equivalents.
- Update caution and security notes to reference best practices for both RDP and SSH access.
