Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias in the 'Create a virtual machine' section by exclusively linking to instructions for creating a Windows Server VM, without mentioning or linking to Linux VM creation. This places Windows instructions before any Linux equivalents, and omits Linux-specific guidance. The rest of the documentation is generally OS-neutral or Linux-focused (e.g., cluster creation is for Linux-based HBase), but the VM creation step is notably Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Include a link to instructions for creating a Linux VM in Azure, such as Ubuntu or CentOS, alongside the Windows VM link.
  • Explicitly state that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used for connecting to the HBase cluster, depending on user preference.
  • Provide examples or notes for both Windows and Linux users when discussing VM setup and connectivity verification.
  • Ensure parity in guidance for post-setup tasks (e.g., using SSH, installing Java, etc.) on both platforms.
