Summary
The documentation provides parity between Linux/macOS and Windows users by offering separate tabs for each platform, with clear instructions and examples. However, in the Windows section, the host fingerprint validation step uses a PowerShell/Azure PowerShell command (Invoke-AzVMRunCommand), while the Linux/macOS section uses a direct SSH command. This introduces a slight bias towards Windows tools and PowerShell, as Linux users may not be shown an equivalent Azure CLI method for host fingerprint retrieval. Additionally, the Windows section references PowerShell and cmd.exe, but does not mention third-party SSH clients for Windows.
Recommendations
  • Provide an Azure CLI example for host fingerprint retrieval in the Linux/macOS section, similar to the PowerShell example in the Windows section.
  • Mention third-party SSH clients for Windows (e.g., PuTTY, MobaXterm) for users who prefer alternatives to cmd.exe/PowerShell.
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps and advanced scenarios (e.g., Bastion, file transfer) include both Azure CLI and PowerShell options for all platforms.
  • Consider listing Linux/macOS instructions before Windows instructions in general documentation, unless usage statistics justify otherwise.
