Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the example VM OS, referencing RDP for access, and demonstrating DNS resolution via PowerShell scripts and Windows command prompt. There are no examples or instructions for creating or testing with a Linux VM, nor are Linux-native tools or shell commands (such as SSH, Bash, or dig) mentioned. The 'Run command' feature is demonstrated only with PowerShell, and the quickstart does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows Server example.
  • Demonstrate how to access the Linux VM using SSH instead of RDP.
  • Provide examples of testing DNS resolution from a Linux VM using Bash commands such as 'ping', 'nslookup', or 'dig'.
  • Show how to use the 'Run command' feature with Linux VMs (e.g., 'RunShellScript') and provide equivalent shell commands.
  • Explicitly mention that the steps apply to both Windows and Linux VMs, and highlight any differences.
  • Where PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are referenced, provide Linux equivalents or alternatives.
