Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in its instructions for connecting to VMs via SSH. It explicitly mentions opening a PowerShell prompt for Windows users and a Bash prompt for Mac/Linux users, but the SSH command example uses Windows path syntax ('.\Downloads\lb-key-pair.pem'), which is not valid on Linux/Mac. There are no Linux-specific command examples for the SSH key path, and no mention of Linux terminal conventions. The rest of the tutorial is platform-neutral, focusing on Azure portal UI steps, but the only command-line example is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows and Linux/Mac command examples for SSH, including correct path syntax (e.g., './Downloads/lb-key-pair.pem' for Linux/Mac).
  • Explicitly mention how to open a terminal on Linux/Mac and Windows, and clarify the differences in file path conventions.
  • Consider listing Linux/Mac instructions before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
  • Add a note about file permissions for the SSH key on Linux/Mac (e.g., 'chmod 600 lb-key-pair.pem').
