Summary
The documentation page shows a moderate Windows bias. The only bulk update script provided is a PowerShell script that targets Windows VMs, with no equivalent Bash or Azure CLI script for Linux VMs. PowerShell is used extensively for both Windows and Linux instructions, even though Linux users typically prefer Bash or native CLI. In several sections, PowerShell examples and screenshots are presented before or more prominently than Azure CLI or Linux-native alternatives. There is no example of a bulk update for Linux VMs using Bash or Azure CLI, and the manual update instructions rely heavily on PowerShell, which is less common on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Provide a Bash or Azure CLI script example for bulk updating Network Watcher extensions on Linux VMs, similar to the PowerShell script for Windows.
  • Ensure that Azure CLI and Bash examples are given equal prominence and ordering to PowerShell, especially in manual update and version check sections.
  • Include screenshots or output examples from Linux CLI environments, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify which commands are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific, and avoid implying PowerShell is the default for Linux users.
  • Consider adding a table summarizing update methods for both Windows and Linux, with links to platform-specific instructions.
