Summary
The documentation provides troubleshooting guidance for Azure Arc resource bridge, which is a cross-platform solution. However, there are several instances of Windows bias: PowerShell and Windows command-line examples are given for troubleshooting network issues (e.g., Invoke-WebRequest, Resolve-DnsName, ping), and Windows paths are referenced in error messages. Linux equivalents (such as curl, dig, or nslookup) are not provided alongside these examples. Additionally, Windows tools and terminology (e.g., RDP, Windows folder paths) are mentioned before or instead of Linux/macOS alternatives. While some Linux-specific errors (GLIBC version) are addressed, overall, Linux/macOS users may experience friction due to the lack of parity in troubleshooting steps and examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell and Windows command-line examples (e.g., curl for Invoke-WebRequest, dig/nslookup for Resolve-DnsName).
  • Include troubleshooting steps and commands for Linux/macOS environments wherever Windows-specific instructions are given.
  • Clarify that the management machine can be Windows, Linux, or macOS, and specify any OS-specific requirements or limitations.
  • Add Linux/macOS file path examples and permissions troubleshooting alongside Windows paths.
  • Ensure error messages and troubleshooting steps reference both Windows and Linux/macOS environments equally.
