Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily by providing a PowerShell script as the only automation example for identifying impacted Azure Traffic Manager profiles (Scenario 2). There are no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform script examples for Linux/macOS users. The instructions for running the script explicitly reference PowerShell, and there is no mention of alternatives or parity for non-Windows environments. While other sections use Azure CLI and REST API (which are cross-platform), the only automation script provided is Windows-centric, and the PowerShell approach is presented first and exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash or Azure CLI scripts for Linux/macOS users to identify non-Azure Traffic Manager endpoints, or at least reference how to achieve the same result using cross-platform tools.
- When recommending scripts or automation, offer both PowerShell and Bash (or CLI) examples, and clarify their platform compatibility.
- Explicitly mention that the PowerShell script can be run on PowerShell Core (which is cross-platform) if applicable, or provide installation guidance for non-Windows users.
- Adopt a 'platform-neutral' approach by presenting Azure CLI or REST API examples before or alongside PowerShell scripts.
- Audit future documentation for similar scenarios where only Windows/PowerShell tooling is referenced, and ensure Linux/macOS parity is considered.
