Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-specific tools (such as robocopy, Explorer, and RDP) are frequently referenced for troubleshooting and configuration, often without Linux equivalents or examples. In some cases, Windows instructions are provided first or exclusively, and Linux alternatives are either missing or mentioned later. For example, VM management and monitoring are described using PowerShell, and file operations suggest Windows tools before Linux commands. Some workarounds and troubleshooting steps are tailored to Windows environments, with limited guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux command-line equivalents (e.g., Bash, SSH, systemctl) alongside PowerShell examples for VM and service management.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps for issues currently described only with Windows tools (e.g., using 'ps', 'service', or 'journalctl' instead of PowerShell for process/service management).
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., AzCopy, SQLCMD) with usage examples for both Windows and Linux clients.
  • Ensure that file operations (such as copying blobs) include Linux commands (e.g., 'cp', 'rsync') and not just Windows tools like robocopy or Explorer.
  • When referencing remote access, provide SSH instructions for Linux/Mac users in addition to RDP for Windows.
  • Review the order of instructions to avoid consistently listing Windows steps first; strive for parity in presentation.
