Summary
The documentation page demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the 'Prerequisites' section, where Windows and PowerShell configuration options are listed before Linux equivalents. There is a notable emphasis on Windows tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio Code) and Windows-specific instructions, though Linux options are present. The main Terraform implementation and validation steps use generic Bash commands, which are cross-platform, and both Linux and Windows container templates are provided. However, Windows is often mentioned first and more prominently, which may create minor friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • List Linux/Bash configuration options before Windows/PowerShell options in the prerequisites.
  • Explicitly mention macOS support and provide links or instructions for macOS users.
  • Ensure parity in examples and instructions for both Linux and Windows, including tool installation and usage.
  • Where Visual Studio Code is referenced, clarify that it is available on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., PowerShell) as the default; present Bash or cross-platform options first.
