Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows tools and patterns (such as RDP and DPAPI) are mentioned first and in more detail than their Linux equivalents. Code examples for running tasks under user accounts often use Windows-centric commands (e.g., 'cmd.exe /c echo') and Windows VM images, with Linux examples provided later or in less detail. There are references to Windows-specific APIs and workflows (DPAPI, RDP) without equivalent Linux alternatives or explanations. Some sections, such as updating legacy code, use Windows-centric terminology and examples, and Linux-specific nuances (like SSH key management) are less emphasized or explained.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux examples are provided alongside Windows examples in all code snippets, using Linux shell commands (e.g., '/bin/bash -c "echo hello"') where appropriate.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, Linux file permissions, Linux secrets management) with equal prominence and detail as Windows tools.
  • When describing workflows (e.g., connecting to nodes, sharing secrets), provide Linux-specific guidance and alternatives, such as using OpenSSL or GPG for secrets instead of DPAPI.
  • Avoid using Windows terminology (e.g., RDP, cmd.exe) as the default; present both Windows and Linux options together.
  • Add more Linux-focused examples for named user accounts, including passwordless SSH setup and Linux-specific user configuration fields.
  • Clarify any platform-specific limitations or behaviors, especially around user account isolation, permissions, and elevation, for both Windows and Linux.
