Summary
The documentation page for Azure NAT Gateway shows evidence of Windows bias. It specifically mentions Windows Activation and Windows Updates as examples of services requiring outbound connectivity, without mentioning Linux equivalents (such as package updates or activation for Linux-based workloads). Additionally, upgrade instructions for basic resources reference PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) without providing parity for Linux CLI or Bash. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples or references, and Windows scenarios are mentioned first and exclusively in relevant sections.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-specific examples and scenarios, such as outbound connectivity for apt/yum updates, cloud-init, or SSH key retrieval.
  • When referencing upgrade instructions, provide Azure CLI (cross-platform) and Bash examples alongside PowerShell.
  • Mention Linux workloads and their outbound connectivity needs in parity with Windows Activation/Updates.
  • Ensure that all tooling references (e.g., PowerShell) are accompanied by equivalent instructions for Azure CLI or other cross-platform tools.
  • Add explicit notes or examples for Linux VM outbound connectivity, especially in sections discussing private subnets and NAT Gateway requirements.
