Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed, step-by-step instructions and references for preparing Windows machines, including PowerShell usage and Windows Firewall configuration, while Linux instructions are minimal and lack equivalent detail. Windows tools and patterns (such as RDP, Windows Firewall, and Windows Update) are mentioned explicitly, and Windows preparation steps are listed before Linux, with more comprehensive guidance and links. There are no Linux-specific examples or references to common Linux tools (e.g., iptables, SSH configuration details), nor parity in troubleshooting or automation guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide equally detailed preparation steps for Linux machines, including references to configuring SSH, managing Linux firewalls (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw), and checking required services.
  • Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., systemctl commands to enable/start sshd, firewall-cmd or ufw commands to open SSH ports).
  • Add troubleshooting guidance for Linux connectivity issues (e.g., checking SSH logs, SELinux/AppArmor considerations).
  • Mention Linux automation options (e.g., using shell scripts or cloud-init) alongside PowerShell/Azure Automation.
  • Ensure that for every Windows-specific tool or step, a Linux equivalent is described and referenced.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel sections or tables to emphasize equal support.
