Summary
The documentation demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell commands, Chocolatey for installing CLI tools, Windows Server references) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. The guide provides detailed steps for setting up SMB file shares on Windows, but omits equivalent instructions for Linux. Installation of key Kubernetes tools (kubectl, Helm) is shown using Chocolatey/PowerShell, with no Linux-native alternatives. The main automation script is a PowerShell script (.ps1), and users are instructed to set PowerShell execution policies. Overall, Linux users are left to infer or adapt steps, which may hinder parity and accessibility.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux-native installation instructions for kubectl and Helm (e.g., using apt, yum, or curl).
- Include a Linux shell script alternative to the PowerShell automation script, or document equivalent bash commands.
- Add a section detailing how to set up SMB file shares on Linux (e.g., using Samba), with step-by-step instructions.
- When referencing platform-specific guides (e.g., Windows Server, Azure Local), ensure Linux equivalents are mentioned with equal prominence.
- Avoid using Windows tools like Chocolatey as the sole installation method; offer cross-platform alternatives.
- Where PowerShell commands are required, provide bash equivalents for Linux/macOS users.
- Review all examples and ensure both Windows and Linux scenarios are covered, especially for infrastructure setup and connectivity testing.
