Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas. Troubleshooting steps and examples frequently reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., PsPing.exe), commands, and file paths (e.g., editing C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). There are no equivalent Linux examples or instructions (such as using ping, nc, or editing /etc/hosts). Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively or before any cross-platform alternatives, and the documentation assumes the use of Windows-based Azure VMs without acknowledging Linux scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all troubleshooting steps, such as using 'ping', 'nc', or 'curl' for connectivity checks, and instructions for editing /etc/hosts.
  • Include examples and screenshots for both Windows and Linux environments when referencing file paths, commands, or configuration changes.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., PowerShell Core, curl) where possible, and clarify when a step is OS-specific.
  • Order troubleshooting instructions so that cross-platform or OS-neutral steps are presented first, followed by OS-specific details.
  • Explicitly state when a solution applies only to Windows, and offer alternative steps for Linux users.
