Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific workarounds (WinUtils.exe) are described in detail without Linux equivalents; instructions for editing the hosts file are given only for Windows (Notepad, file path), with no mention of Linux/Mac workflows; PowerShell-based Azure networking instructions are listed before any Linux alternatives; and Cygwin is suggested for running scp commands on Windows, implying a Windows-centric audience. There is little to no guidance for Linux or Mac users in these key setup and troubleshooting steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux and Mac (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts).
  • Include Linux/Mac-specific troubleshooting steps for remote debugging, and clarify that WinUtils.exe is not required on non-Windows platforms.
  • List Azure CLI or Bash-based networking setup options alongside or before PowerShell instructions.
  • Mention that scp is natively available on Linux and Mac, and provide examples for those platforms.
  • Review all steps to ensure parity for Linux/Mac users, including file paths, environment variable setup, and tool usage.
