Summary
The documentation shows a mild Windows bias by referencing 'time.windows.com' as the default NTP server and providing its IP address as an example. This is a Windows-centric default, and no alternative (e.g., pool.ntp.org) is mentioned. However, the command-line examples for network and storage checks are Linux/Unix-based (e.g., openssl, rpcinfo), and there are no PowerShell or Windows-only command examples. The documentation does not provide explicit Linux or Windows client setup examples, but the only NTP example is Windows-specific.
Recommendations
  • Mention cross-platform NTP servers such as pool.ntp.org as alternatives to time.windows.com, or clarify that any standards-compliant NTP server can be used.
  • If referencing time.windows.com, also provide a Linux-friendly example (e.g., pool.ntp.org) and its configuration.
  • Explicitly state that the command-line examples (openssl, rpcinfo) are for Linux/Unix systems, and provide equivalent PowerShell or Windows commands if relevant, or clarify that Linux is the expected environment for these checks.
  • Ensure that any default values or examples (such as DNS or NTP servers) are not Windows-specific unless required by Azure, and if so, explain why.
