Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed, step-by-step instructions and links for preparing Windows machines, including PowerShell usage and Windows Firewall configuration. In contrast, Linux preparation is covered in only two brief bullet points, lacking equivalent detail, examples, or links. Windows-specific tools and patterns (RDP, WinHTTP proxy, Windows updates, SAN policy) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents, and all remote access instructions focus on RDP and Windows Firewall before mentioning SSH for Linux.
Recommendations
  • Expand the Linux preparation section to match the detail of the Windows section, including step-by-step instructions for enabling SSH, configuring firewall rules (e.g., using UFW, firewalld, or iptables), and verifying required services.
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for remote access setup, such as configuring SSHD, opening ports in Linux firewalls, and handling SELinux/AppArmor if relevant.
  • Include links to official Azure documentation for preparing Linux VMs for upload and failover, similar to the Windows links.
  • Mention Linux update management (e.g., pending apt/yum/dnf updates) and its impact on failover, paralleling the Windows update guidance.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting steps and references to diagnostic tools (e.g., serial console, SSH troubleshooting) for Linux VMs.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, rather than Windows-first, to avoid implicit prioritization.
