Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-based examples and tools (such as PowerShell and Windows 10 VM) are presented before or instead of Linux equivalents, and step-by-step instructions for connectivity testing use Windows images and RDP, with no mention of Linux VMs or SSH-based workflows. PowerShell is referenced for cluster creation, but Linux shell or Bash examples are not provided. There are no explicit Linux-focused instructions or parity in tooling or examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux VM deployment instructions and examples alongside Windows VM instructions for connectivity testing.
  • Include Bash/Azure CLI examples for cluster creation and management, not just PowerShell.
  • Mention SSH as a primary access method for both Linux and Windows VMs, and provide examples for both platforms.
  • When listing VM images for testing, include popular Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and show how to use them for Ambari and SSH access.
  • Ensure that all tooling references (e.g., Azure CLI, PowerShell) are balanced and that Linux users are not required to use Windows-specific tools or workflows.
