Summary
The documentation page exhibits a mild Windows bias in several areas: instructions for saving SSH keys and connecting to the deployer VM mention Windows file paths (e.g., C:\Users\<your-username>\.ssh) and Windows editors (Notepad++), and PuTTY/PuTTYGen are referenced as SSH tools, which are primarily used on Windows. Visual Studio Code is suggested for SSH connections and file editing, which is cross-platform but often associated with Windows workflows. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples for saving SSH keys, connecting via SSH, or using native Linux/macOS tools (e.g., OpenSSH, nano, vi) for these tasks. However, the core deployment workflow is Bash/Ansible/Terraform-based and generally platform-agnostic.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux/macOS users, such as saving SSH keys to ~/.ssh, setting file permissions with chmod, and connecting via native ssh command.
- Mention Linux/macOS text editors (e.g., nano, vi, gedit) alongside Visual Studio Code and Notepad++.
- Include Linux/macOS equivalents for PuTTY/PuTTYGen, or clarify that these steps are for Windows users only.
- Reorder examples so that platform-agnostic or Linux-native instructions appear before Windows-specific ones.
- Add a note at the start clarifying that the tutorial is cross-platform and provide links to platform-specific SSH/key management instructions.
