Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While Azure CLI examples (which are cross-platform) are provided, PowerShell examples are also given equal prominence, and in some sections, PowerShell is the only non-CLI scripting example. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools or shell environments (e.g., bash, curl, grep) except for a single 'curl' command for IPv6 testing. The documentation refers to the Azure Cloud Shell, which can be used from any OS, but does not clarify that PowerShell commands are Windows-centric. Outbound IPv6 support is noted as 'Windows apps only' without further Linux guidance. No Linux-specific troubleshooting or command-line examples (e.g., using dig instead of nslookup, or bash scripting) are present.
Recommendations:
- For every PowerShell example, provide an equivalent bash or Linux shell example where possible, especially for scripting or automation tasks.
- Clarify in the documentation that PowerShell commands are primarily for Windows users, and suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
- Where 'nslookup' is suggested, mention 'dig' as an alternative for Linux users.
- For outbound IPv6 support, explicitly state the current limitations for Linux apps and provide guidance or workarounds for Linux users.
- Include more Linux-native command-line examples (e.g., using curl, jq, grep) for querying and parsing Azure CLI output.
- When referencing the Azure Cloud Shell, note that both Bash and PowerShell environments are available, and provide examples for both.
