Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: troubleshooting steps and examples reference PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., 'ps ping', 'netsh trace', curl in PowerShell), and no Linux or cross-platform equivalents are provided. Windows-centric terminology and patterns (such as STOP/START for VM reboot) are used without mention of Linux alternatives. This may hinder Linux users from following troubleshooting steps or understanding how to apply guidance in their environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux troubleshooting commands and examples (e.g., use 'ping', 'ss', 'tcpdump', 'curl' with Linux flags) alongside PowerShell/Windows examples.
  • When referencing VM operations (e.g., reboot), clarify how to perform these actions on Linux VMs (e.g., using 'sudo reboot' or Azure CLI).
  • Avoid referencing only Windows tools (e.g., 'netsh', 'ps ping')—include cross-platform or Linux-native tools (e.g., 'tcpdump', 'nmap', 'netcat').
  • Where examples are given (such as disabling keepalive in curl), show both PowerShell and Bash/Linux shell syntax.
  • Review all troubleshooting steps and ensure Linux users are explicitly supported, either by parallel instructions or by noting cross-platform alternatives.
