Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the example VM OS, referencing RDP for remote access, and using PowerShell scripts for testing DNS resolution. There are no examples or instructions for creating or managing Linux VMs, nor for testing DNS resolution using Linux tools or shells. The documentation does not mention or show parity for Linux users in key steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows Server example.
  • Include examples for connecting to a Linux VM (e.g., using SSH) and testing DNS resolution with Linux-native tools (e.g., ping, dig, or nslookup from a Bash shell).
  • When referencing the 'Run command' feature, show both RunPowerShellScript (for Windows) and RunShellScript (for Linux) options.
  • Avoid assuming the use of RDP or Windows-specific ports; mention SSH and Linux authentication methods as alternatives.
  • Explicitly state that the process is OS-agnostic where possible, and highlight any differences for Linux users.
  • Add links to Linux-specific quickstarts or documentation where available.
