Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. In the connectivity testing step, the only example VM image is Windows 10 Pro, and RDP is the only remote access port mentioned. The instructions for accessing the cluster suggest using a Windows command prompt, and there is no mention of Linux VMs or SSH from a Linux terminal. Additionally, PowerShell is mentioned before Azure CLI in the cluster creation step, and there are no explicit Linux shell or Bash examples. The overall pattern assumes a Windows environment for management and testing, with little to no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM deployment instructions and examples (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) alongside Windows VM examples in the connectivity testing section.
  • Mention SSH as the primary remote access method for Linux VMs, and provide instructions for connecting via SSH from a Linux terminal.
  • When referencing command-line tools, present Azure CLI and PowerShell examples in parallel, and avoid listing PowerShell first by default.
  • Provide explicit Bash or Linux shell command examples where relevant, especially for connectivity and DNS testing.
  • Clarify that the steps are applicable to both Windows and Linux environments, and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • When listing inbound ports for VM access, include SSH (22) for Linux VMs in addition to RDP (3389) for Windows VMs.
