Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, primarily through its emphasis on WCF Relay (a Windows/.NET Framework technology) and the absence of explicit Linux or cross-platform examples for WCF Relay. The quick starts and samples for Hybrid Connections do include Node.js and Java, which are cross-platform, but WCF Relay is presented as a legacy/primary feature with only Windows-centric tooling and examples. There is no mention of Linux equivalents or how to use WCF Relay from non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance or examples for using Azure Relay (especially WCF Relay) from Linux environments, if supported.
- Clarify platform requirements and limitations for WCF Relay, including whether it can be used from Linux or only Windows.
- Provide parity in quick starts and samples for Linux users, such as instructions for running .NET Core or Node.js clients on Linux.
- Consider listing cross-platform options before or alongside Windows-specific technologies to avoid Windows-first ordering.
- If WCF Relay is Windows-only, make this clear and direct Linux users to Hybrid Connections or other alternatives.
