Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Windows Server VMs as the platform for the ID Broker node, mentioning domain-joining to Microsoft Entra Domain Services (which is typically associated with Windows environments), and omitting explicit Linux setup or management instructions. All authentication infrastructure and troubleshooting guidance assume a Windows-centric Active Directory and VM environment, with no mention of Linux equivalents or alternative patterns for non-Windows clusters. There are no Linux-specific examples or references to Linux-native tools for cluster administration, authentication, or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for Linux-based clusters, including how to set up and manage the ID Broker node on Linux VMs if supported.
- Mention Linux-native authentication patterns (e.g., integration with MIT Kerberos, sssd, or other Linux domain join mechanisms) alongside or before Windows/Active Directory approaches.
- Include Linux command-line examples for cluster administration, authentication (such as kinit, ssh, and keytab usage), and troubleshooting.
- Clarify whether the ID Broker node must be Windows-based, or if Linux is supported, and provide parity in documentation for both platforms.
- Reference Linux tools (such as OpenSSH, curl, or native Hadoop CLI tools) equally with Windows tools, and avoid assuming a Windows-only environment.
