Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias in the section on connecting to VMs via SSH. It instructs Windows users to open a PowerShell prompt, while Mac and Linux users are told to open a Bash prompt. The SSH command example uses Windows-style path separators ('.\Downloads\lb-key-pair.pem'), which may confuse Linux/Mac users. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples or instructions for Linux-specific tools, and the order of instructions places Windows before Linux/Mac. However, the rest of the tutorial is largely platform-neutral and does not use Windows-specific tools or patterns.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/Mac (Bash) command examples side-by-side, with appropriate path syntax for each.
  • Use platform-neutral path examples (e.g., '~/Downloads/lb-key-pair.pem' for Linux/Mac, '.\Downloads\lb-key-pair.pem' for Windows) and clarify which applies to which OS.
  • Mention alternative SSH clients for Windows (e.g., PuTTY) and for Linux/Mac (native SSH), if relevant.
  • Avoid listing Windows instructions before Linux/Mac; consider presenting both together or alternating order.
  • Explicitly state that the SSH command works on all platforms, with only the path syntax differing.
