Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: VM deployment instructions and examples exclusively use Windows images (Windows 10 Pro), RDP is the only inbound port mentioned, and the VM licensing checkbox is specific to Windows. The instructions for testing connectivity reference Windows tools (web browser, command prompt) and do not mention Linux alternatives. PowerShell is referenced before Azure CLI in cluster creation examples. There are no explicit Linux VM deployment instructions or examples, nor are SSH or Linux-native tools prioritized or equally presented.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM deployment instructions and examples (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside or before Windows examples.
  • Mention SSH as a primary access method for both Ambari and cluster connectivity, and provide Linux command-line examples.
  • When listing cluster creation methods, present Azure CLI and ARM template examples before or alongside PowerShell, and ensure parity in detail.
  • For connectivity testing, describe how to use Linux terminals and browsers, and mention relevant Linux tools (e.g., curl, wget, OpenSSH).
  • Avoid Windows-specific licensing steps unless also providing Linux equivalents.
  • Ensure all portal screenshots and configuration tables are OS-agnostic or provide both Windows and Linux perspectives.
