Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by emphasizing Active Directory (a Windows-centric technology) and Microsoft Entra Domain Services for authentication, with no mention of Linux-native alternatives (such as LDAP or MIT Kerberos). The authentication examples reference PowerShell as a client tool, but do not mention Linux command-line tools or SSH-based workflows. The documentation does not provide Linux-specific guidance or parity in examples, and Windows tools/patterns are referenced exclusively or before any Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-native authentication options (such as integration with OpenLDAP or MIT Kerberos) or clarify if only Active Directory is supported.
- Provide examples of connecting to HDInsight clusters using Linux command-line tools (e.g., SSH, curl, or Linux-based JDBC/ODBC clients), not just PowerShell.
- Mention Linux-based administrative workflows and tools alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Clarify any platform-specific requirements or limitations, and ensure that Linux users are not left without guidance.
- If PowerShell is referenced, also provide equivalent Bash or shell commands for Linux environments.
