Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily by mentioning Windows Server Routing and Remote Access (RRAS) as the only example of an on-premises VPN appliance, with no equivalent Linux example or guidance. Windows tooling is referenced first and exclusively in the prerequisites, potentially leading users to assume Windows is the preferred or only supported platform for on-premises VPN appliances. However, the rest of the documentation provides parity between Azure Portal, PowerShell, and CLI instructions, and links are provided for mounting Azure Files on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention and provide examples of popular Linux-based VPN appliances (e.g., StrongSwan, OpenVPN, Libreswan) in the prerequisites section.
- Include links or references to official guides for configuring Linux-based VPN appliances with Azure VPN Gateway.
- Add a short note clarifying that both Windows and Linux appliances are supported and provide a pointer to the Azure-tested device list for cross-platform options.
- Where Windows RRAS is mentioned, offer a Linux alternative in the same paragraph or immediately after.
- Ensure that any screenshots or step-by-step instructions for configuring the on-premises appliance are available for both Windows and Linux platforms.
