Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently mentioning Windows-specific tools (WinRM, PowerShell), providing Windows instructions before Linux equivalents, and lacking detailed Linux command examples. Windows prerequisites and commands (e.g., 'winrm qc') are described in detail, while Linux instructions are minimal (e.g., only mentioning SSH port 22). Troubleshooting and onboarding steps reference Windows tools and patterns more extensively than Linux, and PowerShell is highlighted for service principal creation without equivalent Linux/CLI guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., SSH configuration, agent installation) alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions.
  • Include instructions for creating service principals using Azure CLI or Bash, not just Azure PowerShell.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows steps are given equal prominence, or group them by OS.
  • Expand troubleshooting sections to include Linux-specific error codes, logs, and diagnostic steps.
  • Reference Linux tools (e.g., systemctl, journalctl) where appropriate for agent installation and troubleshooting.
  • Clarify authentication options for Linux (e.g., SSH key setup) with step-by-step examples.
