Summary
The documentation provides instructions for both Linux and Windows client VMs, but there are signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific instructions (such as editing the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\) are called out in a dedicated section, and Windows steps are described in more detail (including screenshots and credential instructions). The Linux section is shorter and only provides a curl example, lacking parity in step-by-step guidance. Additionally, some generic instructions (e.g., using Ambari UI) are written in a way that assumes Windows users (browser-based, credential prompts), and Windows terminology ("overview page") is used before Linux equivalents. There is also a lack of Linux-specific troubleshooting or tool recommendations, and no PowerShell or Linux shell command examples for VM creation or configuration.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, with equal detail and screenshots for both platforms.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, such as SELinux, firewall, or network configuration issues.
- Add Linux shell command examples for VM creation, hosts file editing, and Kafka topic management.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., nano, vi, systemctl) where relevant, not just Windows tools.
- Ensure terminology is platform-neutral (e.g., 'hosts file location' instead of only Windows path).
- Add PowerShell and Bash examples for common tasks, and clarify differences between platforms.
- Review the order of presentation so that Linux instructions are not always after Windows ones.
