Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The default operating system for cluster VMs is Windows, and the certificate creation process is described exclusively using a PowerShell script (Create-ClusterCertificate.ps1), with instructions to launch PowerShell and run the script. There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux users (e.g., using OpenSSL or bash), nor are Linux tools or workflows mentioned for certificate creation. The documentation refers to Windows first in OS selection and omits Linux-specific guidance in critical steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions for certificate creation, such as using OpenSSL commands and bash scripts.
  • Include examples and screenshots for both Windows and Linux environments when describing cluster creation and configuration.
  • Mention Linux tools and workflows alongside Windows tools, ensuring parity in documentation.
  • Change language to be OS-neutral where possible, or explicitly offer both Windows and Linux options in step-by-step guides.
  • Set the default OS selection to prompt the user to choose, rather than defaulting to Windows.
