Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric: all examples, templates, and verification steps assume Windows VMs and Windows domain controllers. Only Windows images are deployed, and all configuration/verification steps use Windows tools (Group Policy Editor, PowerShell). There are no instructions or examples for Linux-based Kerberos realms, Linux VMs, or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for configuring Kerberos authentication with Linux VMs (e.g., using MIT Kerberos or Samba as a domain controller).
- Include ARM template parameters/examples for deploying Linux VMs and setting up a Linux-based Kerberos KDC.
- Provide verification steps for Linux (e.g., using kinit, checking /etc/krb5.conf, or system logs).
- Reference Linux documentation for Kerberos setup and troubleshooting.
- Clarify in prerequisites and limitations that only Windows-based Kerberos domains are currently supported, if that is the case.
