Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (Chocolatey, PowerShell) are used for installing critical components (kubectl, Helm), with explicit PowerShell commands and references to Windows Server and Windows file sharing. Linux alternatives for installing these tools are not provided, and Windows setup instructions for SMB shares appear before Azure Files and Linux-based guidance. The main automation script is provided only as a PowerShell (.ps1) file, with no Bash or shell equivalent. While some Linux usage is implied (e.g., test pods use Linux images), explicit Linux-first or cross-platform instructions are lacking in key setup steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-native installation instructions for kubectl and Helm (e.g., apt, yum, curl, or official binaries), not just Chocolatey/PowerShell.
  • Offer a Bash or shell script equivalent to EnvironmentSetup.ps1, or document manual steps for Linux/macOS users.
  • Present Azure Files and Linux SMB setup instructions before or alongside Windows SMB setup.
  • Explicitly mention how Linux/macOS users can set up and mount SMB shares, including example commands.
  • Clarify which steps are OS-agnostic and which require platform-specific handling.
  • Where PowerShell commands are given, provide Bash equivalents for Linux/macOS.
  • Add notes or sections for macOS users where relevant (e.g., mounting SMB shares, installing CLI tools).
