Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows prerequisites, tools, and instructions. Windows-specific requirements (such as installing tar.exe and OpenSSH from Windows sources) are detailed, while Linux equivalents are not mentioned. PowerShell is the primary scripting language, with Bash provided as an alternative. Troubleshooting and retry commands are shown first for Windows/PowerShell, and Windows tools/patterns (e.g., Set-ExecutionPolicy, WinRM ports) are referenced exclusively or before Linux equivalents. Linux instructions are present but less detailed, and performance warnings for Linux are included without mitigation advice.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific prerequisites and installation steps (e.g., how to ensure tar and SSH are installed on common Linux distributions).
  • List Linux instructions and examples alongside or before Windows examples to ensure parity.
  • Include troubleshooting and retry commands for Linux with equal detail and visibility.
  • Avoid language that discourages Linux use (e.g., performance warnings) unless accompanied by actionable mitigation steps.
  • Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, SELinux, iptables) where relevant, not just Windows tools like WinRM.
  • Ensure all script parameters and behaviors are documented for both PowerShell and Bash scripts.
