Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific tools (Chocolatey, PowerShell) are used for installing Kubernetes CLI and Helm, with no Linux/macOS alternatives provided. PowerShell commands and scripts are referenced and prioritized (e.g., EnvironmentSetup.ps1, Set-ExecutionPolicy), and Windows Server is mentioned before Linux or generic Kubernetes options. The SMB file share setup provides detailed Windows instructions, while Linux setup is only referenced indirectly or via test commands, not step-by-step. There are missing Linux/macOS installation examples for key tools and processes.
Recommendations
  • Provide installation instructions for kubectl and Helm using native Linux/macOS package managers (e.g., apt, yum, brew) alongside Chocolatey/PowerShell for Windows.
  • Include Linux/macOS equivalents for PowerShell commands, such as using bash scripts or shell commands for setting execution policies and environment variables.
  • Offer step-by-step instructions for setting up SMB file shares on Linux (e.g., using Samba), not just Windows and Azure Files.
  • Reference generic Kubernetes cluster creation and management options before platform-specific (Windows Server, Azure Local) ones, or present them in parallel.
  • Ensure all example scripts (such as EnvironmentSetup.ps1) have bash or shell script equivalents for Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly state cross-platform support and provide parity in all procedural steps, avoiding assumptions of a Windows-only environment.
