Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation consistently references the Azure portal and VMware tools, but does not provide any Linux-specific examples, CLI commands, or alternative workflows. All instructions for credential management, network configuration, and VM deployment are given through GUI interfaces (Azure portal, NSX Manager, vSphere Client) or generic VMware tools, with no mention of Linux command-line utilities, shell scripts, or Linux-native management patterns. The only command-line example given is 'transporter-status.sh', but it is not contextualized for Linux users (e.g., how to SSH, what dependencies are needed). There is no mention of PowerShell, but the overall workflow assumes users are operating in a Windows-centric Azure environment.
Recommendations
- Add Linux CLI examples for credential retrieval, such as using Azure CLI or REST API from a Linux shell.
- Provide instructions for deploying and managing the reverse proxy VM using Linux tools (e.g., ovftool, scp, SSH) rather than only GUI workflows.
- Include steps for configuring network and firewall rules using CLI (e.g., NSX-T API calls, Azure CLI) suitable for Linux administrators.
- Clarify how Linux users can interact with the reverse proxy VM (e.g., SSH commands, required packages, troubleshooting connectivity from Linux).
- Explicitly mention Linux compatibility and provide parity in examples, ensuring that Linux-based workflows are documented alongside GUI/portal instructions.
