Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several ways: the only CLI example for querying private DNS zones uses Chocolatey (a Windows package manager) and ARMClient (with PowerShell commands), with no Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The troubleshooting section mentions 'Test-NetConnection', a Windows-only tool, before listing 'nslookup', which is cross-platform. There are no Linux-specific instructions or examples for tasks such as installing ARMClient, querying DNS, or troubleshooting connectivity, and Windows-centric tools and patterns are presented first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions for installing ARMClient (e.g., via npm or direct download) and running the same queries.
  • Include Azure CLI or REST API examples for querying private DNS zones, which work on all platforms.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., dig, curl) for DNS and connectivity troubleshooting alongside or before Windows-only tools like Test-NetConnection.
  • Avoid referencing Windows package managers (Chocolatey) exclusively; suggest alternatives for Linux (apt, yum, etc.) and macOS (brew).
  • Ensure all code samples and troubleshooting steps have both Windows and Linux/macOS variants, or use platform-agnostic tools where possible.
