Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. PowerShell is the only CLI tool shown for configuring NSG flow log settings (specifically, setting FlowTimeoutInMinutes), with no equivalent Azure CLI or Linux shell example. The 'Read flow logs using PowerShell functions' link is listed before any Linux or cross-platform alternatives, and there are no explicit Linux or bash examples for managing or processing flow logs. This prioritizes Windows tooling and omits Linux-native workflows.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI (az) examples for all configuration and management tasks currently shown only in PowerShell, especially for setting FlowTimeoutInMinutes.
- Include bash or shell script examples for reading, exporting, and processing NSG flow logs.
- When listing guides or tools, present cross-platform or Linux options (such as Azure CLI, bash, or Python) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell options.
- Explicitly mention that all operations can be performed from Linux, macOS, or Windows, and provide parity in instructions.
- Where possible, link to documentation or tutorials for Linux users, such as using jq or grep to process JSON logs.
