Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias through the prioritization of Windows tools, PowerShell commands, and Windows-centric troubleshooting steps. Examples and workarounds often reference Windows-specific utilities (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell cmdlets), and when command-line instructions are given, they are typically for Windows environments. Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives are rarely mentioned, and Linux-specific guidance is minimal or absent, even in scenarios where Linux is likely to be used (e.g., NFS, AzCopy, SQL command-line tools).
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/bash command examples alongside PowerShell/Windows commands (e.g., for mounting NFS shares, collecting logs, managing VMs).
- Mention and link to Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp, scp) where Windows tools like robocopy or Explorer are referenced.
- When referencing PowerShell cmdlets, include corresponding bash or Azure CLI commands where possible.
- For SQL access, provide examples using sqlcmd on Linux, including installation and usage instructions.
- Ensure troubleshooting steps for VM and agent issues include Linux VM scenarios, not just Windows (e.g., process/service management).
- Audit all command-line examples and ensure Linux users are not left without clear, actionable instructions.
- Explicitly state OS-specific requirements or limitations, and provide parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux environments.
