Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows operating systems are listed first and in more detail than Linux equivalents. Instructions for preparing Windows VMs include explicit registry edits and firewall configuration using Windows-specific tools (e.g., REG ADD, wf.msc), while Linux instructions are less detailed and lack command-line examples. The use of Windows-centric terminology (e.g., RDP, GPO) is prevalent, and references to Windows services (like VSS) are made without Linux alternatives. Linux steps are present but less comprehensive, and there are missing Linux command-line examples for key actions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux command-line examples for all steps, such as editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config, restarting sshd, and verifying network connectivity.
  • List Linux operating systems and requirements before or alongside Windows, not after.
  • Include Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., show how to open firewall ports using ufw or firewalld).
  • Reference Linux snapshot and consistency mechanisms (e.g., fsfreeze, LVM snapshots) when discussing app-consistent snapshots, or clarify their absence.
  • Avoid using Windows-centric terminology exclusively; provide Linux alternatives (e.g., SSH instead of RDP for remote access).
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting and advanced configuration guidance for both platforms.
