Summary
The documentation covers both Linux and Windows VMs, but there are subtle biases: Windows is listed first in the 'Recommended OS for Performance' row, and only Windows is specifically recommended for performance. The only explicit OS recommendation is 'Windows Server 2019+'; no Linux distribution is recommended for best performance, despite Linux being widely used for HPC. Additionally, the 'lstopo' example is Linux-specific, but there are no equivalent Windows/PowerShell commands or guidance for viewing NUMA topology on Windows, which may leave Windows users at a disadvantage.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux OS recommendations for best performance (e.g., RHEL 8.x, Ubuntu 20.04+), not just Windows.
  • When listing 'Recommended OS for Performance', include both Linux and Windows options if both are supported.
  • Add Windows/PowerShell equivalents for topology inspection (e.g., using 'Get-WmiObject', 'systeminfo', or third-party tools) alongside the 'lstopo' example.
  • Where possible, alternate the order of OS mentions or clarify that both Linux and Windows are equally supported unless there is a technical reason to prefer one.
