Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the VM image in the creation steps and referencing Microsoft Edge for connectivity tests. There are no examples or instructions for deploying or testing with Linux-based virtual machines, nor are Linux tools or browsers mentioned. This may lead Linux users to feel unsupported or unsure if the process is applicable to their environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for creating a Linux-based VM (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) alongside the Windows example.
- Include Linux-specific details for connecting to the VM (e.g., using SSH via Bastion, or using a Linux desktop environment and browser).
- When testing outbound connectivity, mention using a browser available on Linux (e.g., Firefox) or using command-line tools like curl or wget to verify external IP.
- Clarify that the process is OS-agnostic unless there are steps that are truly Windows-specific, and highlight any differences for Linux users.
- Where possible, use neutral language and examples (e.g., 'open a web browser' instead of 'open Microsoft Edge').
