Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and workflows (e.g., PowerShell, RDP, Windows services, waappagent.exe, robocopy, Explorer) are referenced without Linux/macOS equivalents or alternatives. Examples and workarounds for tasks such as mounting NFS shares, managing VM agents, and copying blobs are given using Windows commands and utilities, with Linux approaches either omitted or mentioned secondarily. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users attempting similar operations.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line examples (e.g., show both Windows and Linux mount commands for NFS shares).
  • Include Linux-native tools (e.g., scp, rsync, cp) alongside Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer for file operations.
  • For PowerShell-based instructions, offer Bash or shell alternatives where possible.
  • When referencing Windows-specific services or processes (e.g., waappagent.exe), clarify Linux/macOS agent management or note if not applicable.
  • Ensure workarounds and troubleshooting steps are platform-agnostic or clearly separated by OS.
