Summary
The documentation focuses exclusively on using RDP (a protocol and workflow traditionally associated with Windows) to connect to Linux VMs, requiring the installation of xrdp (a Windows-compatible RDP server for Linux). There are no examples or mentions of native Linux remote access tools (such as SSH or VNC), nor are there instructions for connecting from Linux clients. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric approach to remote desktop access, potentially neglecting Linux-native workflows.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and guidance for connecting to Linux VMs using native Linux tools, such as SSH, alongside RDP.
  • Provide parity in instructions for connecting from both Windows and Linux client machines.
  • Mention and link to alternatives to xrdp (such as VNC or X2Go) for users who may prefer Linux-native remote desktop solutions.
  • Clarify that RDP is not the only or default method for Linux VM access, and explain scenarios where RDP (via xrdp) is preferable or necessary.
  • Add a section comparing RDP and SSH for Linux VM management, highlighting security and usability considerations.
