Summary:
The documentation exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific features, tools, and examples (such as PowerShell and Volume Shadow Copy Service) are mentioned prominently, often without equivalent Linux guidance or examples. In some sections, Linux support is only briefly referenced or explicitly excluded (e.g., shared disks), and Windows terminology or tools are used as the default or only example. PowerShell is frequently suggested for advanced tasks, with no mention of Bash, CLI, or Linux-native alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and guidance alongside Windows examples, especially for scripting and automation (e.g., show Azure CLI or Bash scripts in addition to PowerShell).
- When referencing Windows tools or features (such as VSS), include Linux equivalents or explain how similar functionality can be achieved on Linux (e.g., using pre/post scripts for app-consistency).
- Avoid presenting Windows options or tools first by default; instead, present both Windows and Linux options in parallel or clarify applicability.
- Where features are unsupported for Linux (e.g., shared disks), clearly state this early and provide links to feature requests or workarounds if available.
- Expand documentation for Linux-specific scenarios, such as encrypted disk replication, app-consistent snapshots, and automation using non-Windows tools.
- Include troubleshooting and best practices sections for both Windows and Linux environments.
