Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Many configuration and management tasks are described as being performed via the PowerShell interface, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives. Windows tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, sqlcmd, RDP) are referenced for workarounds and examples, often without Linux equivalents. In several cases, Windows-specific instructions or tools are provided first or exclusively, and Linux/macOS users are left to infer their own methods. There are also instances where only Windows VM issues are discussed in detail.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples (e.g., Bash, SSH, Linux-native tools) alongside PowerShell instructions.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., AzCopy, curl, scp) where possible, and clarify their usage on Linux/macOS.
  • When mentioning Windows tools (robocopy, Explorer, sqlcmd, RDP), also mention Linux/macOS alternatives (rsync, cp, sqlcmd for Linux, SSH).
  • Explicitly state whether management interfaces (PowerShell, local UI) are accessible from Linux/macOS, and provide instructions for connecting from those platforms.
  • For VM management and troubleshooting, include Linux VM scenarios and solutions, not just Windows VM issues.
