Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and examples reference Windows-centric tools (e.g., PowerShell, netsh, PsPing) without providing Linux equivalents. When discussing connection testing and state flushing, PowerShell and Windows reboot instructions are given, but Linux commands and workflows are omitted. The documentation mentions browser and curl usage in PowerShell, but does not show how to test or flush connections on Linux. Overall, the guidance assumes a Windows environment for VM management and troubleshooting, with little consideration for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux equivalents for all troubleshooting commands (e.g., use tcpdump, ss, ip, ping, nc, lsof, netstat for network diagnostics and connection state).
- Include examples for connection testing and state flushing on Linux VMs (e.g., how to restart networking, flush connections, or reboot on Linux).
- When referencing tools like PsPing and netsh, also mention and give examples for Linux-native tools.
- Ensure that instructions for validating outbound connectivity, managing connections, and troubleshooting are platform-neutral or include both Windows and Linux workflows.
- Explicitly state when a step or tool is Windows-specific, and provide a Linux alternative in parallel.
- Add troubleshooting scenarios and best practices relevant to common Linux distributions used in Azure (Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.).
