Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several examples and workarounds reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, PowerShell cmdlets like Get-VM, Start-VM, Get-Process), and Windows VM management steps are described in detail. In some cases, Linux alternatives are mentioned (e.g., ssh into node pool VM, NFS client errors), but Windows tools and patterns are often presented first or exclusively. There are missing Linux equivalents for some procedures, and PowerShell/Windows-centric instructions are prevalent.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples alongside Windows instructions (e.g., show how to mount NFS shares in Linux, use Linux tools for file copying instead of only robocopy/Explorer).
  • Include Linux VM management steps (e.g., how to check and restart services/processes in Linux VMs, alternatives to PowerShell cmdlets).
  • When referencing remote access, mention both RDP (Windows) and SSH (Linux) methods where applicable.
  • For troubleshooting and diagnostics, offer Linux-native commands and workflows (e.g., systemctl, journalctl, ps, netstat) in addition to Windows tools.
  • Ensure that instructions for certificate management, custom script extensions, and other VM operations are available for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Review the order of examples and avoid consistently presenting Windows steps before Linux ones; strive for parity and balance.
