Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows VM Guest Agent, RDP, Explorer, robocopy) are referenced without Linux equivalents or alternatives. In multiple workarounds and examples, Windows approaches are described first or exclusively, while Linux methods are omitted or only briefly mentioned. There is a lack of parity in providing Linux-centric instructions, especially for VM management, file operations, and troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux commands and tools alongside Windows examples (e.g., show how to manage VMs with Linux CLI tools, use SSH instead of RDP, use rsync/scp instead of robocopy/Explorer).
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps for VM extensions and guest agents include Linux VM scenarios, not just Windows.
  • When referencing PowerShell or Windows-specific utilities, add parallel instructions for Bash, Linux shell, or cross-platform alternatives.
  • In tables and lists, avoid listing Windows approaches first unless there is a technical reason; strive for equal prominence.
  • For file copy and blob management, include Linux-native tools and commands (e.g., cp, rsync) and clarify any platform-specific caveats.
  • Audit documentation for other areas where only Windows workflows are described and add Linux parity where possible.
