Summary
The documentation page exhibits a clear Windows bias in several areas. All virtual machine creation examples use Windows images exclusively, and all testing instructions (firewall configuration, ping commands, and output) are provided only for Windows/PowerShell environments. There are no Linux VM creation examples, nor any Linux-specific instructions for configuring firewalls or testing DNS resolution. The use of Windows PowerShell commands and screenshots further reinforces the bias toward Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM creation examples (e.g., using --image UbuntuLTS) alongside Windows examples.
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions for configuring firewalls to allow ICMP (e.g., using ufw or iptables).
  • Show how to test DNS resolution and ping from a Linux shell (bash), including sample output.
  • Present both Windows and Linux command-line examples in parallel throughout the guide.
  • Clarify that the Azure CLI works cross-platform and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • Avoid assuming the user is on Windows; use neutral language and examples where possible.
