Summary
The documentation generally focuses on Linux-based workflows (Ubuntu VMs, Bash scripts, Bind DNS setup, SSH usage), but there is a notable Windows bias in the section describing how to obtain the SSH utility. Windows tools and patterns are listed first and in more detail than their Linux equivalents, including Azure Cloud Shell, Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10, Git for Windows, and OpenSSH for Windows. This could give the impression that Windows is the primary platform, despite the actual technical steps being Linux-centric.
Recommendations
  • When listing SSH options, mention Linux/macOS first, as these platforms natively include SSH and are the default for most Hadoop/HBase deployments.
  • Provide parity by listing Linux and macOS SSH instructions before Windows alternatives.
  • If Windows tools are mentioned, ensure equivalent Linux instructions are present and given equal prominence.
  • Consider adding explicit notes that all core steps (VM setup, Bind installation, script actions) are performed on Linux, and clarify that Windows instructions are only for users connecting from a Windows workstation.
  • Review other sections to ensure that Linux tools and patterns are not overshadowed by Windows-specific recommendations.
