Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using a Windows Server virtual machine as the example workload and instructing users to test DNAT using Remote Desktop (RDP), which is a Windows-centric protocol. There are no examples or instructions for deploying a Linux VM, nor for testing access using SSH or other Linux-relevant tools. All step-by-step instructions for VM creation and connectivity assume a Windows environment, omitting Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu Server) in the 'Create a virtual machine' section.
  • Include steps for testing DNAT access to the Linux VM using SSH (port 22), alongside or instead of the RDP example.
  • When describing DNAT rule creation, provide examples for both RDP (Windows) and SSH (Linux) scenarios.
  • In the 'Test the firewall' section, show how to connect using both Remote Desktop (for Windows) and SSH clients (for Linux), including example commands.
  • Consider using neutral language such as 'workload VM' and avoid assuming the OS unless necessary for the scenario.
  • Where possible, present Windows and Linux options side by side to ensure parity and inclusivity.
