Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for retrieving outbound IP addresses, but the PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and there is no explicit mention of Linux shell or Bash alternatives for PowerShell commands. Additionally, outbound IPv6 support is noted as being available only for Windows apps, with no Linux parity or roadmap discussed. The documentation does not explicitly favor Windows tools overall, but it does not clarify that PowerShell is cross-platform or provide Linux-specific guidance where Windows-only features are mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Clarify that Azure PowerShell can be run cross-platform, or explicitly note when a command is Windows-only.
- Provide Bash or Linux-native command alternatives (e.g., using jq with az CLI) where PowerShell is shown, or at least note that the CLI commands work on Linux/macOS.
- When mentioning features only available for Windows (such as outbound IPv6), clearly state the lack of Linux support and, if possible, provide a roadmap or alternatives for Linux users.
- In sections where both Azure CLI and PowerShell are shown, consider listing CLI first, as it is cross-platform, or explicitly mention that both are supported on all platforms.
- Add more explicit Linux/Bash testing examples (e.g., using dig or host in addition to nslookup, which is available on both platforms but less common on Linux).
