Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows tools (PsPing, PowerShell Invoke-WebRequest) are presented alongside Linux tools, but Windows examples are more detailed and PowerShell is used for troubleshooting steps without equivalent Linux CLI or Azure CLI examples. In troubleshooting failed network interfaces, only PowerShell and Azure Resource Explorer (browser-based, with a Microsoft Edge recommendation) are provided, omitting Linux/Azure CLI alternatives. The order of presentation often lists Windows tools before Linux, and some steps are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI or REST API commands for all PowerShell-based troubleshooting steps, ensuring Linux users have parity.
  • Provide Linux-specific examples (e.g., using curl, nc, or Azure CLI) wherever Windows tools or PowerShell are referenced.
  • When listing tools or commands, alternate or group by OS, and avoid consistently listing Windows tools first.
  • Remove browser recommendations that are Windows-specific (e.g., Microsoft Edge) or provide alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform tools and approaches to troubleshooting, and ensure all steps can be performed from Linux or macOS environments.
