Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (e.g., Visual Studio, Power Query for Excel, System Center) are mentioned frequently, often before or instead of Linux alternatives. While some Linux-native tools and workflows (SSH, logrotate, Ambari UI) are included, scripting and automation examples are predominantly PowerShell-focused, and Linux command-line examples are sparse or missing in several sections. There is a lack of parity in scripting guidance and tool recommendations for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide Bash or shell script equivalents alongside all PowerShell examples, especially for log collection, archiving, and Azure Storage access.
- Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., Azure CLI, AzCopy, rsync, cron jobs) before or alongside Windows tools like PowerShell and Visual Studio.
- Include explicit Linux command-line examples for common tasks such as downloading logs, automating retention, and interacting with Azure Storage.
- Highlight cross-platform tools and SDKs, and clarify which tools are available on both Windows and Linux.
- Balance references to Windows-specific monitoring solutions (e.g., System Center) with Linux-compatible alternatives or open-source monitoring stacks.
- Ensure that all scripting and automation guidance is available for both Windows and Linux environments, not just PowerShell.
