Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas: instructions for preparing accounts and connectivity after failover are presented for Windows before Linux, with more detailed steps and troubleshooting for Windows. Windows-specific tools and settings (such as Windows Firewall, registry edits, and SAN policy) are mentioned, while Linux instructions are less detailed and lack equivalent troubleshooting guidance. There are no command-line examples for Linux (e.g., SSH service management), and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which comes first, to avoid the impression of Windows being the default.
- Provide equivalent detail and troubleshooting steps for Linux VMs, such as how to check SSH service status, configure firewall rules (e.g., using ufw or firewalld), and handle common SSH connectivity issues.
- Include Linux command-line examples for tasks such as enabling SSH, checking firewall status, and verifying network connectivity.
- Mention Linux-specific tools or configuration files where relevant, similar to how Windows registry and firewall settings are discussed.
- Ensure that all steps required for Linux VMs are as explicit and discoverable as those for Windows VMs, including any post-failover checks or diagnostics.
