Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed instructions and file paths for Windows (e.g., editing the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts), referencing Windows-specific tools (WinUtils.exe, Notepad), and mentioning PowerShell-based Azure VNet setup before any Linux alternatives. There is no equivalent guidance or examples for Linux or macOS users for key steps such as editing the hosts file, handling WinUtils.exe issues, or using native Linux tools for file transfer and configuration.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions and file paths for Linux and macOS users, especially for editing the hosts file (e.g., /etc/hosts) and setting environment variables.
  • Include Linux/macOS alternatives for tools and workarounds, such as explaining that WinUtils.exe is not needed on non-Windows systems.
  • When listing Azure VNet creation steps, mention CLI/Bash or Linux-native methods before or alongside PowerShell and portal options.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Notepad or Windows-specific editors; suggest cross-platform editors (e.g., nano, vim, VS Code) where appropriate.
  • Clarify when steps are Windows-only and provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions for all major actions.
