Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page refers to 'passwords for your Windows VMs' and 'public SSH keys for your Linux VMs', but all subsequent examples and screenshots are generic and do not provide platform-specific guidance. However, the initial mention of Windows passwords before Linux SSH keys suggests a subtle 'windows_first' bias. There are no Linux-specific examples or screenshots, and no mention of Linux command-line tools or workflows, indicating a lack of Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux-focused examples, such as how to use secrets for Linux VM provisioning (e.g., using secrets for SSH keys or environment variables).
  • Include screenshots or command-line instructions relevant to Linux users, such as using the Azure CLI or bash scripts.
  • Ensure that Linux use cases (e.g., storing and retrieving SSH keys) are described with equal prominence and detail as Windows password scenarios.
  • Where possible, alternate the order of Windows and Linux references, or present them together, to avoid implicit prioritization.

Windows First Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation page, while describing Azure CLI scripts (which are cross-platform), shows evidence of Windows bias. The scripts are referenced as Bash scripts, but the code blocks are incorrectly labeled as 'powershell', which may confuse Linux users. Additionally, the first and only explicit VM creation example is for a Windows VM, with no mention of creating a Linux VM or providing a Linux-specific example.
Recommendations
  • Correct the code block language tags from 'powershell' to 'bash' or 'azurecli' to accurately reflect the script content and avoid confusion for Linux users.
  • Include explicit examples for creating Linux VMs in addition to Windows VMs, or clarify that the scripts can be adapted for both.
  • Ensure that references to operating systems are balanced, and provide parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux scenarios.
  • If possible, add notes or links to documentation on how to adapt the scripts for Linux VM creation, including differences in authentication and image selection.
