Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and interfaces (such as PowerShell and RDP) are mentioned as primary or sole solutions for certain tasks, with Linux alternatives either omitted or referenced later. Examples include instructions to restart nodepool VMs via Windows PowerShell, troubleshooting steps for Windows VMs using Windows-specific commands, and file copy workarounds referencing Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer. Linux/macOS users may find it difficult to follow or adapt these instructions due to lack of equivalent guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific instructions, such as SSH or shell commands for VM management and troubleshooting.
  • Include examples using Linux tools (e.g., rsync, cp) alongside Windows tools like robocopy for file operations.
  • When referencing PowerShell or Windows interfaces, also describe how to perform the same actions using Linux/macOS methods.
  • Ensure that examples and workarounds are presented for both platforms, ideally side-by-side.
  • Explicitly call out any platform-specific limitations and offer alternative solutions for non-Windows users.
