Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias. Several workarounds and examples reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, waappagent.exe, WindowsAzureGuest.exe), PowerShell commands, and Windows VM guest agent troubleshooting. In some cases, Windows instructions are provided without Linux/macOS equivalents, and Windows-centric patterns (such as mounting NFS shares using Windows paths) are shown first or exclusively. Linux tools and workflows are mentioned but less frequently, and some examples lack parity for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands and troubleshooting steps wherever Windows tools or PowerShell are referenced (e.g., for NFS mounting, VM guest agent management, file copying).
  • Include Linux/macOS examples alongside Windows examples, especially for tasks like mounting shares, copying files, and managing VMs.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., rsync, scp, Linux sqlcmd installation) when suggesting file operations or command-line utilities.
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools (like robocopy, Explorer, RDP) exclusively; offer alternatives for other platforms.
  • Clarify when instructions are Windows-only and provide links or guidance for Linux/macOS users.
