Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The only CLI example for querying private DNS zones uses Chocolatey (a Windows package manager) and ARMClient (installed via PowerShell), with no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided. The troubleshooting section mentions Windows-centric tools (Test-NetConnection) before more universal ones, and does not provide Linux equivalents or instructions. There are no bash or Azure CLI examples for Linux users, and the documentation assumes use of the Azure portal, which is platform-neutral but does not address CLI workflows that are common on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux, such as using Azure CLI (az) or bash scripts to query private DNS zones.
  • Replace or supplement Chocolatey/ARMClient instructions with cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Azure CLI, curl, or REST API calls).
  • In troubleshooting, include Linux-native tools (e.g., dig, host) alongside nslookup and Test-NetConnection, and show example outputs.
  • Where PowerShell commands are given, provide bash/Azure CLI equivalents.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on Linux and macOS, and link to relevant cross-platform tool documentation.
