Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. While the deployment and automation steps are primarily shown using Bash scripts and Azure Cloud Shell (which is cross-platform), several sections assume or mention Windows-specific tools and workflows. For example, instructions for saving SSH keys reference Windows file paths (e.g., C:\Users\<your-username>\.ssh), and guidance is given for using Windows editors like Notepad++ and Visual Studio Code. PuTTY and PuTTYGen (Windows SSH tools) are mentioned, but there is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., OpenSSH, ssh-add, chmod). The order of instructions often presents Windows-centric steps first or exclusively, and there are no explicit Linux/macOS examples for SSH key management or connecting to VMs.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux and macOS users, especially for SSH key management (e.g., saving keys to ~/.ssh, setting permissions with chmod, using native editors like nano or vim).
  • Mention cross-platform SSH clients and workflows, such as OpenSSH, and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
  • When referencing editors, include Linux/macOS options (e.g., nano, vim, gedit) alongside Windows editors.
  • Provide parity in troubleshooting steps and tool recommendations (e.g., alternatives to PuTTY for non-Windows users).
  • Avoid using Windows file paths as the default in examples; use platform-agnostic or both Windows and Linux/macOS paths.
