Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, and there is no mention of Linux-compatible methods (such as using SSH or RDP clients on Linux). The workflow assumes the use of .rdp files, which are natively supported on Windows, and does not provide guidance for connecting from Linux or macOS systems. The 'Next steps' section also lists PowerShell and Visual Studio (Windows tools) before mentioning templates, with no reference to Linux CLI or cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions for connecting to remote desktop from Linux and macOS, such as using open-source RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, rdesktop, FreeRDP).
  • Provide Azure CLI examples for managing the Remote Desktop extension, as Azure CLI is cross-platform.
  • Include guidance on downloading and using .rdp files on non-Windows platforms.
  • Mention SSH as an alternative for Linux-based role instances, if supported.
  • Reorder or balance the 'Next steps' section to highlight cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, ARM templates) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
