Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively mentioning Windows-centric tools and patterns, such as the Remote Desktop Gateway (RDP) and referencing Windows Server documentation. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-based remote access (e.g., SSH), nor are Linux administration tools or patterns discussed. Automation examples mention PowerShell first, and there is no parity in examples or guidance for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-based remote access options (e.g., SSH bastion hosts, Linux jump boxes) alongside or before Windows RDP solutions.
- Reference Linux documentation and tools (such as OpenSSH, Linux firewall configuration) when discussing connectivity and security.
- Provide automation examples using Bash scripts and Azure CLI, not just PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention that DevTest Labs supports both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide Linux-specific considerations where relevant.
- Balance references to Windows and Linux tools and patterns throughout the documentation to ensure cross-platform parity.
