Summary

The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. While it acknowledges Linux as a deployment platform and references Linux VMs and shell scripts, several sections provide Windows-specific details, tools, and examples without equivalent Linux coverage. Notably, the only explicit script example for connectivity testing is in PowerShell, and Windows tools (PowerShell Gallery, Visual Studio components) are listed with detailed firewall requirements, while Linux equivalents are not. The 'Windows-based deployments' section is detailed, but there is no parallel section for Linux-based deployments. This may leave Linux users without clear guidance for equivalent tasks.

Recommendations

Provide Linux/bash script examples alongside PowerShell scripts, especially for connectivity testing and automation tasks.
Include a section on Linux-based deployments with details similar to the 'Windows-based deployments' section (e.g., credential management, DNS integration, required accounts).
List Linux-specific tools and their firewall/network requirements (e.g., apt/yum repositories, SSH, relevant package sources) in the firewall configuration table.
Ensure that when both Windows and Linux are supported, examples and instructions for both platforms are presented with equal prominence and detail.
Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, bash scripts) in examples, or provide both Windows and Linux alternatives.
