Summary
The documentation provides configuration examples using the Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool and is presented as a primary scripting option alongside CLI. There are no examples using Linux-native tools (such as Bash scripts, cloud-init, or configuration via Linux VM settings). The CLI examples are cross-platform, but the absence of Linux-specific configuration patterns (e.g., instructions for /etc/resolv.conf or cloud-init for VM DNS settings) indicates a bias toward Windows/PowerShell workflows. Additionally, PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, which may reinforce a Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific configuration examples, such as updating /etc/resolv.conf on Linux VMs to use Azure Firewall as the DNS server.
  • Include cloud-init or Ansible snippets for automating DNS settings on Linux deployments.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide sample Bash scripts for Linux users.
  • Consider reducing the prominence of PowerShell or explicitly noting its Windows focus, while highlighting Linux-native alternatives.
  • Provide troubleshooting steps or verification commands for both Windows and Linux environments (e.g., using nslookup or dig on Linux).
