Summary
The documentation exhibits moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Windows VM agent, Windows file paths) are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. Some troubleshooting and prerequisite steps provide Windows-specific instructions or examples first, and Linux instructions are sometimes less detailed or omitted. PowerShell is referenced as a primary automation interface, with Linux CLI parity only briefly mentioned. There are also more explicit instructions for Windows network/firewall configuration and script validation, while Linux details are less emphasized.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all examples and instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux, with equal detail and prominence.
  • When referencing automation interfaces, give Azure CLI and Bash examples alongside PowerShell, and link to both quickstart guides equally.
  • List Linux and Windows prerequisites/tools in parallel, not with Windows first.
  • Expand troubleshooting steps to include Linux-specific commands and error scenarios where only Windows is covered.
  • Include Linux firewall/network configuration guidance where Windows-specific rules are described.
  • Clarify any OS-specific requirements for script signing/validation and provide Linux alternatives or explanations.
