Summary
The documentation page displays several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell, RDP, Windows VM Guest Agent) are mentioned as workarounds or examples, often without Linux/macOS equivalents. Some instructions (e.g., mounting NFS shares, troubleshooting VM extensions, restarting nodepool VMs) are given only for Windows environments or with Windows commands first. Linux alternatives are sometimes referenced but not always provided with equal detail or clarity.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., suggest rsync or cp instead of robocopy/Explorer, show Linux mount commands for NFS, detail how to restart nodepool VMs from Linux/macOS).
  • When listing examples or workarounds, present both Windows and Linux/macOS options side-by-side, or alternate which is shown first.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows clients; clarify when instructions are OS-specific and link to platform-appropriate guides.
  • Expand troubleshooting steps for VM extensions to include Linux VMs if relevant, or explicitly state if the issue is Windows-only.
  • Review all command-line examples and ensure Linux/macOS syntax is included where applicable.
