Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by linking to the Windows-specific Azure Instance Metadata Service documentation in the 'Next steps' section, without referencing the Linux equivalent. There are no operating system-specific examples or commands, but the only direct link for further learning is for Windows, and there is no mention of Linux or cross-platform guidance.
Recommendations
- Include links to both Windows and Linux versions of the Azure Instance Metadata Service documentation in the 'Next steps' section.
- Explicitly state that the IMDS REST API is OS-agnostic and can be accessed from both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Provide example commands for retrieving metadata using common Linux tools (e.g., curl or wget) alongside any Windows/Powershell examples.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and support guidance is not Windows-centric and covers common issues for both platforms.
