Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Azure CLI is used throughout, which is cross-platform, but installation and usage instructions for supporting tools (like kubelogin) mention Windows and Mac before Linux. Portal-based instructions and screenshots are Windows-centric. There are no explicit PowerShell examples, but the Azure CLI commands are often shown in a way that is more familiar to Windows users. Linux-specific instructions (such as kubelogin installation) are present but appear after Windows/Mac instructions, and there is limited mention of Linux-native patterns or tools. There are no Linux-only examples, and the documentation does not highlight Linux-specific considerations for SSH, file editing, or permissions, which are relevant for cluster administration.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux instructions before or alongside Windows/Mac instructions, especially for tool installation (e.g., kubelogin).
  • Include explicit Linux-native examples for SSH, file editing (e.g., using nano or vim), and file permissions.
  • Add guidance for Linux package managers (apt, yum, etc.) for installing dependencies like unzip and curl.
  • Provide parity in portal screenshots by mentioning that the Azure portal is accessible from any OS/browser.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and note any OS-specific caveats.
  • Add troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, environment variables, file paths).
  • Where possible, use OS-neutral language and avoid ordering instructions in a way that prioritizes Windows.
