powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation generally maintains OS neutrality but exhibits subtle Windows bias in several areas. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents for some operations (e.g., discovering supported images). The section on TLS focuses exclusively on Windows configuration, with no Linux guidance. References to remote access mention RDP before SSH, and Windows-specific configuration properties are discussed in more detail than Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
- For every mention of PowerShell, provide equivalent Azure CLI and/or Bash examples or links, especially for Linux users.
- In the TLS/SSL configuration section, add guidance or references for securing TLS on Linux compute nodes (e.g., updating OpenSSL, configuring ciphers).
- When discussing remote access, mention SSH before or alongside RDP, and provide parity in configuration details for both Windows and Linux.
- Where Windows-specific VM configuration properties are discussed (e.g., enableAutomaticUpdates), include Linux equivalents or clarify if not applicable.
- Review all tool and command references to ensure both Windows and Linux management tools are equally represented and ordered neutrally.
