Summary
The documentation is largely Linux/Unix-centric, using bash shell commands, Azure CLI, and Ansible, which are cross-platform but most commonly used in Linux environments. However, there is evidence of Windows bias: PuTTY (a Windows SSH client) is mentioned as the only example SSH client, with instructions to convert SSH keys to .ppk format for PuTTY. No Linux or macOS SSH client examples (such as OpenSSH) are provided, nor are instructions for using native Linux/macOS SSH tools. Additionally, the Cloud Shell and Azure CLI are cross-platform, but the documentation does not clarify usage differences for Windows users (e.g., using WSL, PowerShell, or Git Bash). The mention of PuTTY appears before any Linux equivalent, indicating a 'windows_first' pattern.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and examples for using native Linux/macOS SSH clients (e.g., OpenSSH) alongside PuTTY.
  • Clarify that SSH key usage and conversion steps are only needed for PuTTY/Windows, and provide alternative steps for Linux/macOS users.
  • Mention other cross-platform SSH clients (e.g., MobaXterm, Windows Terminal with OpenSSH) to improve parity.
  • Where file paths or shell commands are given, note any differences for Windows users (e.g., using WSL, PowerShell, or Git Bash).
  • Consider providing PowerShell examples for key Azure CLI commands, or explicitly state that commands are bash-compatible and how to run them on Windows.
