Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and examples are primarily or exclusively provided for Windows VMs, including detailed PowerShell commands, Windows file paths, and the use of Windows tools like File Explorer and Command Prompt. Linux troubleshooting is only referenced via external links, with no in-place examples or step-by-step guidance. The structure and flow of the document assume Windows as the default environment, with Linux support treated as an afterthought.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux troubleshooting steps and examples alongside Windows instructions, not just as external links.
  • Include Azure CLI and/or Bash examples in addition to PowerShell for cross-platform parity.
  • Show Linux file paths and log locations directly in the documentation, mirroring the detail given for Windows.
  • When referencing tools (e.g., File Explorer, Command Prompt), also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., terminal, file managers).
  • Ensure artifact script troubleshooting covers both Windows (batch/PowerShell) and Linux (shell scripts) scenarios.
  • Where possible, present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel sections or side-by-side for clarity.
