Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is used exclusively for service principal setup, with no Linux/CLI alternative provided. PuTTY (a Windows SSH client) is mentioned repeatedly as the primary SSH tool, and Windows connection instructions are referenced before Linux. Linux users are expected to adapt or find their own equivalents, which may create friction.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI or Bash alternatives for service principal setup, not just PowerShell.
  • Mention native Linux/macOS SSH clients (e.g., OpenSSH) before or alongside PuTTY.
  • Include explicit Linux/macOS command examples for connecting to VMs (e.g., 'ssh username@ip').
  • Ensure that Linux instructions are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows instructions.
  • Add links to Linux/macOS-specific documentation where appropriate.
