Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Many troubleshooting steps and workarounds reference PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Set-HcsKubernetesAzureMonitorConfiguration, Get-VM, Start-VM, robocopy, Explorer, RDP). Windows VM issues are described in detail, including use of Windows services and processes, while Linux equivalents are rarely mentioned or omitted. Examples and commands are often given for Windows first or exclusively, with Linux alternatives missing or relegated to later sections. This can make it harder for Linux users to follow or apply the guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and commands alongside Windows ones (e.g., show how to check VM state and restart VMs using Linux tools or SSH).
  • Include Linux alternatives for file operations (e.g., suggest rsync or cp instead of only robocopy/Explorer).
  • Balance troubleshooting steps between Windows and Linux environments, especially for VM and Kubernetes operations.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, also show equivalent Bash or shell commands for Linux users.
  • Explicitly mention when a workaround or tool is Windows-only, and offer Linux-compatible solutions where possible.
  • Review and update documentation to ensure Linux users have clear, actionable guidance for all major scenarios.
