Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on GUI-based steps via the Azure portal and VMware vSphere, which are more familiar to Windows users. There are no command-line examples for Linux environments, nor are Linux-native tools or workflows mentioned. The only CLI example provided uses Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but there are no Linux-specific considerations or examples (e.g., shell scripts, Linux authentication nuances). VMware Tools is referenced, but no mention is made of open-vm-tools (the Linux equivalent).
Recommendations:
- Add Linux-specific examples, such as enabling guest management or installing extensions via SSH or Linux shell commands.
- Mention open-vm-tools as the Linux equivalent of VMware Tools and provide installation/verification steps for Linux VMs.
- Include command-line instructions for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash) environments where applicable.
- Clarify any differences in prerequisites or workflows for Linux VMs, such as authentication or agent installation steps.
- Ensure that screenshots or navigation steps are supplemented with CLI alternatives suitable for Linux users.
