Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the 'Connect to Azure after failover' section, where Windows VM instructions are more detailed, listed first, and reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., Windows Firewall, RDP, SAN policy, Windows Update). Linux instructions are present but less detailed, lacking parity in troubleshooting and pre/post-failover configuration guidance. Some notes and troubleshooting links are Windows-specific, with no Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, ensuring equal prominence.
  • Expand Linux VM guidance to match the detail level of Windows (e.g., include steps for configuring SSH, firewall rules, SELinux/AppArmor considerations, and common troubleshooting tips).
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting links and references, similar to those provided for Windows (e.g., SSH connection troubleshooting after failover).
  • Mention Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools and settings (e.g., clarify how to check and configure SAN policy or disk mounting on Linux, and how to handle pending updates or package manager locks).
  • Where Windows-only notes are given (e.g., boot time issues on Windows Server 2012), clarify if there are Linux-specific caveats or explicitly state if not applicable.
