Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias, primarily through the use of Windows as the default operating system for jumpbox VMs and the inclusion of Windows-specific artifacts and parameters before their Linux equivalents. Windows VM examples and parameters are listed before Linux ones in the artifact parameters table, and the default value for the jumpbox OS is Windows. There is also a focus on Active Directory Domain Services, which is traditionally a Windows-centric technology. However, Linux options are present for some artifacts, and there are no critical steps that are Windows-only.
Recommendations
- List Linux and Windows examples and parameters in parallel, or alternate their order to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility in steps involving VM deployment, jumpbox configuration, and Active Directory integration.
- Provide guidance or links for configuring Linux jumpboxes and integrating Linux VMs with Azure services.
- Set the default value for jumpbox OS to 'None' or prompt the user to choose, rather than defaulting to Windows.
- Include Linux/macOS-specific considerations in the main deployment steps, not just in artifact parameters.
