Summary:
The documentation page generally maintains platform neutrality, but in the section on editing the hosts file for DNS testing, the Windows file path (%SystemDrive%\drivers\etc\hosts) is mentioned before the Linux/macOS equivalent (/etc/hosts). Additionally, the only external link for 'Creating a record in DNS' points to a legacy Windows Server article, with no Linux or cross-platform DNS guidance provided. There are no command-line examples (PowerShell, Bash, etc.), but the DNS and hosts file examples are Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- List Linux/macOS hosts file path before or alongside the Windows path, or present both together in a neutral way.
- Provide links to cross-platform or Linux DNS configuration documentation (e.g., BIND, dnsmasq, or Azure DNS CLI/Bash guides) in addition to or instead of Windows-only resources.
- Where external documentation is referenced, ensure parity by including Linux and macOS equivalents, not just Windows Server.
- If providing file paths or instructions, use a table or bullet points to show all major OSes equally.
- Consider adding CLI or script examples (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash) for common tasks to further improve cross-platform usability.
