Summary
The documentation exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, RDP, Windows paths, time.windows.com) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. Troubleshooting steps and example commands often reference Windows environments (e.g., PowerShell, Windows file paths, RDP) without providing Linux alternatives. Some error messages and solutions are Windows-centric, and Linux-specific troubleshooting is limited to a few cases (e.g., GLIBC version errors). There is a lack of parity in examples and guidance for Linux users, especially regarding log collection, proxy configuration, and network troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific command examples alongside Windows/PowerShell examples (e.g., use curl, wget, or bash for network tests, and Linux file paths for CLI operations).
  • Include troubleshooting steps for common Linux environments (Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, etc.), especially for proxy, DNS, and permissions issues.
  • Mention Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., SSH instead of RDP, journalctl/logs instead of Event Viewer, timedatectl/NTP instead of time.windows.com).
  • Ensure error messages and solutions reference both Windows and Linux scenarios, including file system permissions and process concurrency.
  • Add explicit guidance for Linux users in sections that currently only reference Windows or PowerShell (e.g., how to run Azure CLI commands, collect logs, or configure proxies on Linux).
  • Balance references to Windows and Linux throughout the documentation, and avoid assuming the management machine is Windows by default.
