Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for connecting a client VM to an HDInsight Kafka cluster across VNets. However, there is evidence of Windows bias: Windows-specific instructions (editing C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) are given their own section and are described in more detail, while Linux instructions are less prominent and lack parity in some areas (e.g., no explicit Linux example for Ambari login). Windows terminology and paths are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux equivalents in some places. There is also a lack of Linux-specific troubleshooting or advanced examples, and some commands are only shown for Windows.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal detail and prominence.
- Provide explicit Linux examples for all steps, including Ambari login and host file editing.
- Where possible, present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections.
- Include troubleshooting tips and advanced usage for Linux environments, matching those given for Windows.
- Avoid mentioning Windows tools or paths before their Linux equivalents; use neutral language or alternate between platforms.
- Clarify that all Java-based Kafka commands work identically on both platforms, and provide sample shell commands for Linux as well as Windows.
