Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Windows Server VMs as the platform for the ID Broker node, mentioning domain-joining to Microsoft Entra Domain Services (a Windows-centric pattern), and omitting explicit Linux-focused setup or troubleshooting steps. No Linux-specific tools, commands, or patterns are provided, and the only command-line example is a generic curl command. There is no mention of Linux administration or parity in cluster node OS choices, and the documentation assumes a Windows-based Active Directory environment.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the HDInsight ID Broker node can run on Linux-based VMs, or clarify if Windows Server is a hard requirement.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for SSH, kinit, and administrative tasks, including troubleshooting steps for common Linux environments.
- Mention Linux equivalents or alternatives for domain-joining and authentication infrastructure, if available.
- Include references to Linux-based tools (such as command-line utilities, editors, or configuration files) where appropriate.
- Clarify whether the described authentication flows and requirements differ for clusters running on Linux nodes versus Windows nodes.
