Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, RDP) are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux equivalents (Azure CLI, SSH). Example commands and instructions often reference Windows first, and some steps (such as connecting to nodes) give Windows instructions before Linux, or only mention Windows tools (RDP) explicitly. There is a lack of parity in some examples, such as not providing explicit Linux shell commands or focusing on Windows-centric workflows.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all command-line examples (PowerShell, CLI) are presented with Linux parity, e.g., provide Bash shell equivalents where appropriate.
  • When listing supported images or connection methods, mention Linux (SSH) and Windows (RDP) equally and in parallel, rather than Windows first.
  • Provide explicit Linux examples for VM preparation, such as mounting and formatting disks using Linux commands.
  • Include screenshots or instructions for both RDP (Windows) and SSH (Linux) when demonstrating portal workflows.
  • Review all references to tools and ensure Azure CLI (cross-platform) is given equal or greater prominence than PowerShell.
  • Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'connect via SSH or RDP') and avoid Windows-centric terminology as the default.
