Summary
The documentation provides deployment instructions for both Windows and Linux VMs, generally maintaining parity between the two platforms. However, there is a notable emphasis on PowerShell as a deployment method, which is natively a Windows tool, even though a Linux PowerShell option is mentioned. In several sections, Windows instructions or links are listed before Linux equivalents, subtly prioritizing Windows. There are no missing Linux examples or exclusive use of Windows-only tools, but the ordering and tool emphasis reflect a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash or native Linux CLI examples alongside PowerShell for Linux deployments, as PowerShell is less common on Linux.
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions/links to avoid consistently listing Windows first.
  • Explicitly mention and provide examples for Linux-native automation tools (e.g., Bash scripts, cloud-init) in addition to Ansible, Chef, and Puppet.
  • Clarify when PowerShell is required on Linux and offer guidance for users who prefer native Linux tools.
