Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing the Azure portal (a web UI, but often associated with Windows workflows) and providing only Azure CLI examples without any mention of Linux-specific patterns, shell environments, or alternative command-line tools. There are no examples or instructions tailored for Linux users (e.g., Bash, curl, wget, or automation via shell scripting), nor is there any mention of PowerShell, but the absence of Linux-specific guidance or parity is notable.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux users, such as using Bash, curl, or wget to download usage files from Azure Storage.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI works cross-platform and provide sample commands for both Windows (CMD/PowerShell) and Linux (Bash).
  • Include notes or sections on automating downloads using Linux shell scripts, and reference Linux tools for handling CSV files.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI references are platform-neutral or include notes for Linux users where UI behavior may differ.
  • Mention that Azure CLI is available on Linux and macOS, and provide installation links for those platforms.

Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias, primarily in the example given for estimating VM costs in the Azure portal, which specifically references a Windows VM and includes a screenshot labeled 'A1 Windows VM.' There are no equivalent Linux VM examples or screenshots. Additionally, Windows is mentioned first when discussing VM sizing and cost estimation, and Linux is only referenced later in a pricing FAQ link. No PowerShell-specific instructions or Windows-only tools are present, but the lack of Linux parity in examples and ordering suggests a subtle preference for Windows scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples and screenshots for Linux VMs when demonstrating cost estimation in the Azure portal.
  • When mentioning VM sizing or cost estimation, refer to both Windows and Linux VMs equally, or alternate the order to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Ensure that any feature or scenario described for Windows VMs is also explicitly described for Linux VMs, including links to relevant documentation.
  • Review other sections for similar bias and provide Linux-specific guidance or examples where appropriate.

Windows First πŸ”§ Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page presents both Linux and Windows VM scenarios in its main cost comparison table, but Windows-specific features (such as Azure Hybrid Benefit) and links to Windows licensing documentation are more prominently featured. Windows VM scenarios are described in greater detail, including specific licensing and cost considerations, while Linux VMs are discussed more generically. References to Windows software costs and benefits (e.g., Azure Hybrid Benefit) are included, but there are no equivalent mentions of Linux-specific licensing or cost optimization features. There are no command-line examples, so no PowerShell bias is present, but Windows tools and patterns (licensing, hybrid benefit) are referenced without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Include references to Linux-specific licensing or cost optimization features, such as Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux (if available) or third-party licensing options.
  • Provide parity in documentation detail for Linux VMs, such as links to documentation about optimizing Linux VM costs or using reserved instances with popular Linux distributions.
  • Add examples or notes about cost implications for common Linux scenarios (e.g., using RHEL, SUSE, or other commercial Linux distributions with Azure Reservations).
  • Ensure that any Windows-specific features (like Azure Hybrid Benefit) are balanced with Linux equivalents or a statement clarifying their absence.
  • Review related content links to include Linux-focused resources for reserved VM instances.

Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation exclusively references the Azure portal for all access assignment tasks, with no mention of command-line alternatives such as Azure CLI, PowerShell, or REST API. While PowerShell is not directly referenced, the lack of Linux-friendly examples (e.g., Azure CLI commands) and the focus on GUI workflows may disadvantage users on Linux or those who prefer automation. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows-centric workflow by omitting cross-platform command-line instructions.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for each access assignment task, demonstrating how to perform these actions from Linux, macOS, or Windows terminals.
  • Include PowerShell examples for users who prefer scripting on Windows.
  • Reference REST API documentation for programmatic access assignment, supporting automation and cross-platform use.
  • Explicitly state that all tasks can be performed from any OS using CLI or API, not just the Azure portal GUI.
  • Where screenshots are provided, consider including CLI output or command snippets for parity.
