Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias, especially in sections describing how to handle SSH keys and connect to the deployer VM. Windows-specific instructions (e.g., saving SSH keys to C:\Users\<your-username>\.ssh, using Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, and PuTTY/PuTTYGen) are given explicitly, while Linux/macOS equivalents are not mentioned. The order of presentation often puts Windows tools and patterns first, and there are no explicit Linux/macOS instructions for tasks like saving SSH keys, connecting via SSH, or converting key formats. However, the main deployment workflow is Bash/Ansible/Terraform-based and is generally cross-platform.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions for Linux and macOS users for SSH key handling, such as saving keys to ~/.ssh and setting correct permissions with chmod.
- Include examples for connecting to the deployer VM using native Linux/macOS SSH clients (e.g., ssh -i <keyfile> azureadm@<ip>), and mention how to convert key formats using ssh-keygen.
- When mentioning editors, suggest cross-platform options (e.g., nano, vim, gedit for Linux/macOS) alongside Notepad++ and Visual Studio Code.
- Provide guidance for Linux/macOS users on handling line endings (LF vs CRLF) and file permissions.
- When referencing PuTTY/PuTTYGen, also mention that these are primarily for Windows, and suggest alternatives for other platforms.
