Summary
The documentation exhibits a subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific concepts and links before or instead of Linux equivalents. For example, the 'Availability set' link points to a Windows VM tutorial, and the instructions for connecting to failed-over VMs mention RDP (Windows) before SSH (Linux) without providing explicit Linux connection examples or links. There are no Linux-specific instructions or examples, despite mentioning Linux VMs in the context of failover times.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux examples and links where Windows-specific instructions or links are given (e.g., link to both Windows and Linux VM availability set documentation).
  • When discussing connecting to failed-over VMs, include explicit SSH instructions and a link to the Azure Linux VM SSH connection documentation alongside the RDP/Windows link.
  • Where relevant, clarify any differences in failover or recovery steps for Linux VMs, especially since Linux VMs are mentioned as potentially having longer failover times.
  • Ensure that terminology and instructions are platform-neutral unless a step is truly Windows-specific, in which case, provide a Linux alternative or note.
