Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, specifically PowerShell. All command-line examples use PowerShell cmdlets and syntax, and the instructions for installing and using kubectl are Windows-specific (e.g., using curl.exe, referencing .exe files, and editing the Windows hosts file with Notepad). There are no Linux or macOS command examples or guidance, and Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively or before any cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux and macOS instructions and examples alongside Windows/PowerShell steps, including bash shell commands.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific steps for installing kubectl (e.g., using curl/wget and chmod, or package managers like apt, yum, or brew).
  • Show how to edit the hosts file on Linux/macOS (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts).
  • Mention and demonstrate use of cross-platform tools (e.g., kubectl without .exe extension, generic curl/wget usage).
  • Clarify that the PowerShell cmdlets are only available on Windows, and provide alternative approaches for Linux/macOS clients (if available).
  • Rephrase prerequisites and instructions to treat Windows, Linux, and macOS clients equally, not as an afterthought.
