Summary
The documentation is primarily focused on configuring Pacemaker on RHEL in Azure and is generally Linux-centric. However, there are signs of Windows bias: the only example for creating and attaching Azure shared disks uses PowerShell, a Windows-native tool, with no equivalent Azure CLI or Bash example provided. Additionally, references to resource deployment mention the Azure portal and CLI only as alternatives, and the PowerShell example is presented first and in detail. The services metadata includes 'virtual-machines-windows', and some links and references (such as managed identities) point to Windows VM pivots or documentation. There are no Linux-first or Linux-only deployment examples for Azure resources, and the use of PowerShell may be unfamiliar or inaccessible to Linux administrators.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples for all resource deployment steps, especially for creating and attaching shared disks, to ensure Linux administrators can follow without needing PowerShell.
  • Present Azure CLI/Bash examples before or alongside PowerShell examples, making Linux-native tooling the default for Linux-focused documentation.
  • Review and update metadata and links to ensure Linux pivots are primary when the target audience is Linux administrators.
  • Explicitly state when PowerShell is required and offer guidance for Linux users on installing and using PowerShell, or preferably avoid requiring it.
  • Ensure all referenced tools and procedures are accessible and familiar to Linux users, minimizing reliance on Windows-centric tooling.
