Summary
The documentation consistently references the Azure portal (a web-based tool, but often associated with Windows-centric workflows) and does not provide any Linux-specific examples or command-line alternatives. All credential and management steps are described using the Azure portal UI, with no mention of Linux CLI tools (e.g., Azure CLI, PowerShell Core on Linux, or SSH-based workflows). There are no Linux shell commands or examples for tasks such as transferring the OVA, deploying the VM, or verifying connectivity. The only command-line example is 'transporter-status.sh', but its usage context is minimal and not contrasted with any Windows-specific commands. The documentation assumes a GUI-first, Azure-portal-centric workflow, which can be less accessible or familiar to Linux-focused administrators.
Recommendations
- Add Linux CLI examples for interacting with Azure VMware Solution resources, such as using Azure CLI to retrieve credentials, manage NSX, or deploy OVAs.
- Provide alternative workflows for downloading and transferring the OVA using Linux tools (e.g., wget, scp, or az CLI).
- Include Linux shell commands for verifying network connectivity (e.g., using curl, ping, or netcat) to the VMware Cloud Director service.
- Mention that all steps can be performed from Linux environments, and clarify any platform-specific requirements or differences.
- If PowerShell is required, reference PowerShell Core (which is cross-platform) and provide equivalent bash/zsh commands where possible.
