Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific features, tools, and troubleshooting steps (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows VM Guest Agent, RDP, Explorer, robocopy) are mentioned prominently and often exclusively. Many examples and workarounds reference Windows tools and interfaces first or only, with limited or no Linux/macOS equivalents provided. Some sections (e.g., VM log collection, custom script extension troubleshooting) are PowerShell-centric and lack Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands and examples alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions, especially for VM management and log collection.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., SSH, SCP, Linux command-line utilities) where relevant, not just Windows-specific ones like robocopy or Explorer.
  • Clarify when a workaround or feature is Windows-only, and offer Linux/macOS alternatives or note limitations.
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps for VM extensions and agent issues include Linux VM scenarios if supported.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, add Bash or shell script examples for Linux users.
