Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias in several ways: Windows VM instructions are consistently listed before Linux VM instructions in tables and explanations. Windows-specific tools and settings (such as Windows Firewall, RDP, WinHTTP proxy, SAN policy, and Windows Update) are described in detail, while Linux instructions are minimal and lack equivalent depth (e.g., only mentioning SSH and firewall rules). There are no Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, nor are there examples of automating failover actions for Linux environments. The overall pattern prioritizes Windows use cases and tools, with Linux coverage being brief and secondary.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions in tables and sections to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Expand Linux VM preparation steps to include common troubleshooting, security, and connectivity issues (e.g., SELinux, systemd services, SSH configuration, iptables/firewalld rules, cloud-init settings).
- Provide Linux-specific examples for post-failover configuration, such as checking system logs, verifying SSH keys, and handling network interface changes.
- Include links to Linux-focused troubleshooting guides, not just Windows RDP issues.
- Mention Linux automation options (e.g., shell scripts, Ansible playbooks) alongside PowerShell and Windows-centric automation.
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux environments are supported equally, and ensure parity in detail and guidance for both platforms.
