Summary
The documentation page is largely neutral in terms of platform-specific instructions, as it focuses on JSON templates and UI definition files for Azure Resource Manager, which are platform-agnostic. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the use of the 'osPlatform' property, which is always set to 'Windows' in all provided examples, and in the use of Windows-centric control types (e.g., Microsoft.Compute.UserNameTextBox with osPlatform: Windows, and VM size selectors with osPlatform: Windows). There are no examples or mentions of Linux or cross-platform scenarios, nor are Linux-specific values or guidance provided.
Recommendations
  • Include examples where the 'osPlatform' property is set to 'Linux' or 'cross-platform', especially for controls like user name, password, and VM size selectors.
  • Add notes or examples that show how to handle Linux-specific requirements or differences in createUiDefinition.json files.
  • Where appropriate, mention that the controls and templates can be used for both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide parity in documentation.
  • If there are differences in validation, constraints, or default values between Windows and Linux, document these explicitly.
  • Ensure that references to control types or properties do not imply Windows is the only or primary supported platform.
