Summary
The documentation provides SSH usage instructions for HDInsight and claims to cover Windows, Linux, Unix, and macOS clients. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias: Windows tools and patterns (such as PowerShell and Windows-specific SSH clients) are mentioned first or in more detail, and PowerShell examples are given for cluster creation before Linux equivalents. Windows SSH client installation is discussed at length, while Linux is treated as having SSH pre-installed and thus receives less attention. The use of Azure PowerShell is highlighted for cluster creation, with Linux/CLI examples following. There are no Linux-specific graphical SSH client recommendations, and the overall flow assumes a Windows user's perspective.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, rather than Windows-first.
  • Provide equal detail for Linux and Windows SSH client installation and usage.
  • Include Linux-native graphical SSH client examples (e.g., GNOME Terminal, Konsole, Remmina).
  • Add more Linux/Unix/macOS command-line examples for cluster creation and management, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify which instructions are OS-agnostic and which are platform-specific.
  • Avoid using PowerShell as the default example; use Azure CLI or bash where possible for cross-platform parity.
