Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell examples for Azure-side operations, referencing the Azure portal (which is most commonly used on Windows), and omitting equivalent Azure CLI (cross-platform) commands. There are no Linux-specific instructions or examples for validating or configuring the Azure VPN gateway, nor are there examples for Linux-based on-premises VPN devices (such as strongSwan or libreswan). All on-premises device examples are for Cisco CSR1000, which is often run on Hyper-V (a Windows hypervisor), and no Linux-native device configuration is shown.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples alongside or before PowerShell examples for all Azure-side operations, including BGP route verification, tunnel status checks, and VPN gateway configuration.
- Include configuration and validation examples for popular Linux-based VPN devices (e.g., strongSwan, libreswan), showing how to set up IPsec/IKE and BGP on those platforms.
- Reference Linux tools and commands (such as ipsec status, swanctl, or vtysh for FRRouting) for tunnel and BGP verification.
- Explicitly mention that the Azure portal and PowerShell are available on non-Windows platforms, or provide links to cross-platform usage guides.
- Ensure that instructions for finding public IP addresses, configuring firewalls, and other operational steps include Linux-native approaches (e.g., using nmcli, iptables, etc.).
