Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias, especially in the 'Use a custom DNS server' section, where only Windows-specific tools (Chocolatey, ARMClient via PowerShell) are mentioned for interacting with Azure APIs. There are no equivalent Linux/macOS instructions or examples. The troubleshooting section references tools like 'Test-NetConnection' (PowerShell), and while 'nslookup' is cross-platform, the context and order still favor Windows environments. No Linux-native package managers, CLI tools, or shell examples are provided.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as using curl or Azure CLI (az rest) to interact with Azure REST APIs instead of ARMClient.
- Include installation instructions for ARMClient (if cross-platform) or suggest alternatives for Linux (e.g., using curl with authentication).
- Mention Linux package managers (apt, yum, etc.) if third-party tools are required, or clarify that ARMClient is Windows-only.
- In troubleshooting, include Linux-native commands (e.g., dig, host) alongside nslookup, and avoid referencing PowerShell-only tools like Test-NetConnection without alternatives.
- Structure examples so that cross-platform or Linux instructions are given equal prominence, not just as an afterthought.
