Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily in the section addressing Azure Traffic Manager endpoints, where only a PowerShell script is provided for identifying non-Azure endpoints. There are no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting examples for Linux/macOS users. The instructions for running the script explicitly reference PowerShell, and there is no mention of how to achieve the same outcome on non-Windows platforms. Throughout the rest of the document, examples are generally platform-neutral (using REST API and Azure CLI), but the exclusive reliance on PowerShell for a key scenario introduces a significant Windows-centric bias.
Recommendations:
- Provide an equivalent Azure CLI or Bash script for identifying non-Azure Traffic Manager endpoints, or at least describe how Linux/macOS users can perform the same check.
- When referencing scripts or tooling, always include cross-platform alternatives or explicitly state if a solution is Windows-only.
- Instruct users on how to run PowerShell scripts on non-Windows platforms (e.g., via PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS), if no alternative exists.
- Review all example commands and scripts to ensure parity between Windows and Linux users, especially for common administrative tasks.
- Consider including a table or section summarizing all available methods (PowerShell, CLI, REST API) for each scenario, indicating platform compatibility.
