Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas. Windows tools and PowerShell commands are mentioned explicitly and sometimes exclusively, with Linux alternatives either missing or less detailed. Windows examples (PsPing, PowerShell Invoke-WebRequest) are provided for connectivity testing, while Linux examples are limited and less descriptive. Troubleshooting steps for network interfaces in a failed state focus on PowerShell and Azure Resource Explorer (browser-based), with no Linux CLI or Azure CLI alternatives. This prioritization and omission can hinder Linux users seeking parity in troubleshooting guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/Unix command-line examples (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash) wherever PowerShell is used.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps for network interfaces, such as using az network nic commands.
  • Expand Linux tool recommendations for connectivity testing (e.g., ss, telnet, nmap for TCP/UDP tests).
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux procedures are presented side-by-side, or in parallel sections, to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Reference cross-platform tools and scripts where possible, and clarify when a tool is Windows-only.
