Summary
The documentation demonstrates subtle Windows bias. In the prerequisites, the Windows VM creation link is listed before the Linux VM link. In the required VM inbound ports, the Windows port (3389) is listed before the Linux port (22). In the section about keyboard shortcuts, only Windows VM shortcut keys are discussed, with no equivalent Linux/SSH examples. There is also a focus on RDP (a Windows protocol) alongside SSH, but no Linux-specific connection guidance or troubleshooting. No Linux desktop/GUI access or SSH-specific tips are provided.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux VM creation links, or present them together to avoid implying priority.
  • In lists (such as required ports), alternate or group Windows and Linux information equally.
  • Add Linux/SSH-specific connection tips, such as how to use SSH key authentication, X11 forwarding, or common SSH troubleshooting steps.
  • Include Linux desktop/GUI access guidance (e.g., using Bastion to connect to a Linux VM with a GUI, if supported) or clarify if only CLI access is available.
  • Provide keyboard shortcut guidance for Linux VMs (e.g., how to send Ctrl+Alt+Del or other common shortcuts in a Linux session).
  • Ensure that all instructions and examples are provided for both Windows and Linux users where applicable.
