Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. It references the use of the 'host file' for DNS overrides, which is a Windows-centric term and pattern, without mentioning the Linux equivalent ('/etc/hosts'). Additionally, in the region code explanation, it links to a Microsoft Word document (.docx) for region codes, which is a Windows-preferred format. There are no explicit command-line examples, but where commands are mentioned (e.g., 'az account list-locations -o table'), they are cross-platform. However, the documentation does not provide Linux-specific terminology or examples, nor does it clarify that DNS configuration steps apply equally to Linux systems.
Recommendations
  • When mentioning the 'host file', also reference the Linux equivalent ('/etc/hosts') and clarify that the procedure applies to both Windows and Linux.
  • Provide explicit examples or notes for both Windows and Linux environments where manual DNS configuration is discussed.
  • When linking to region code lists, offer a plain text or CSV alternative to .docx files for better cross-platform accessibility.
  • Review terminology throughout the documentation to ensure platform-neutral language (e.g., 'host file' vs. 'hosts file').
  • If any step involves GUI tools or OS-specific utilities, provide parity for both Windows and Linux.
