Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are provided alongside Azure CLI, but there are no explicit Linux shell or Bash-specific examples for querying outbound IPs (other than a generic nslookup and curl). Azure PowerShell is featured equally with Azure CLI, but the PowerShell examples are not marked as Windows-specific, and there is no mention of Linux alternatives for PowerShell commands. Outbound IPv6 support is noted as available only for Windows apps, but this is a platform limitation, not a documentation bias. However, the overall pattern is that Windows/PowerShell tooling is presented as a default or first-class option, with little explicit Linux parity.
Recommendations:
- Clearly label PowerShell examples as Windows-specific, and provide equivalent Bash or Linux shell commands where possible.
- For sections showing Azure CLI and PowerShell, consider using tabbed code blocks labeled 'Azure CLI (cross-platform)' and 'PowerShell (Windows)' to clarify platform applicability.
- Where PowerShell is used to retrieve properties (e.g., outbound IPs), provide a Bash/Unix shell example using Azure CLI and jq or similar tools.
- Explicitly mention when a feature or command is Windows-only, especially in the context of outbound IPv6 support.
- Add a note or section on using Azure CLI in Bash/Linux environments, and ensure all CLI examples are tested cross-platform.
- For completeness, consider referencing cross-platform tools (e.g., dig, host) alongside nslookup for DNS queries.
