Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently providing Azure PowerShell examples before Azure CLI, and in some cases (record set level resource locks), only PowerShell is supported or documented. There are no explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., bash), and the use of PowerShell-centric patterns and terminology may disadvantage Linux users. The documentation does not mention Linux-specific tooling or provide parity for scenarios where CLI or portal support is missing.
Recommendations
  • Where only PowerShell is supported (e.g., record set level resource locks), explicitly note the lack of CLI/Linux support and provide workarounds or alternatives if possible.
  • Provide bash/Linux shell equivalents for Azure CLI examples, including environment variable usage and scripting patterns common in Linux.
  • Ensure that Azure CLI examples are presented before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Add notes or links to Linux-specific guidance for managing Azure DNS resources, especially for scenarios where PowerShell is required.
  • Review and update screenshots and UI instructions to clarify cross-platform availability (e.g., note when features are portal-only, PowerShell-only, or CLI-supported).
