Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. When guiding users to create a VM for private endpoint testing, only Windows Server is offered as the example image, both in the Azure Portal and Azure CLI instructions. The instructions for verifying DNS resolution use PowerShell commands, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., using dig or nslookup in a Linux shell). There are no examples or guidance for creating or connecting to a Linux VM, nor for using Linux-native tools to test connectivity. The documentation assumes the user is working in a Windows environment for verification and troubleshooting steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in both Azure Portal and Azure CLI sections.
  • Include Linux shell commands (e.g., 'nslookup', 'dig', 'curl', 'wget') for verifying DNS and connectivity, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • When listing VM images, mention both Windows and popular Linux distributions, allowing users to choose.
  • Clarify that the verification steps can be performed from either Windows or Linux VMs, and provide equivalent commands for each.
  • Ensure troubleshooting links and examples reference both Windows and Linux tools where applicable.
