Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Windows Server as the example OS for the test virtual machine and only describes connecting via Remote Desktop (RDP) and using Internet Explorer for testing. There are no examples or instructions for deploying or testing with a Linux VM, nor are Linux tools or workflows mentioned. The only OS-specific instructions are for Windows, and these appear before any mention of alternatives (which are absent).
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for deploying a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) in the 'Create a virtual machine' section, including example settings and commands.
  • Include Linux-specific testing instructions, such as using SSH to connect to the VM and using curl, wget, or a browser like Firefox for testing outbound connectivity.
  • When describing DNS configuration, provide guidance for setting DNS servers on a Linux VM (e.g., editing /etc/resolv.conf or using netplan).
  • In the 'Test the firewall' section, include Linux-based examples for verifying connectivity and DNS resolution.
  • Where possible, present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or at least mention Linux alternatives to ensure cross-platform parity.
