Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively using Azure PowerShell for all example commands and automation steps. All code samples are written in PowerShell, and file paths use Windows conventions (e.g., C:\Users\Contoso\). There is no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux shell alternatives, nor are Linux/macOS file path conventions or certificate management tools discussed. The prerequisites explicitly require Azure PowerShell, and no Linux-native tools or cross-platform approaches are presented.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all resource creation and configuration steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Include Bash shell script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for variable setting and automation.
  • Use generic or Linux/macOS-friendly file paths in examples (e.g., /home/contoso/) or note both Windows and Linux conventions.
  • Discuss certificate management using OpenSSL or Linux-native tools, and provide instructions for generating and handling certificates on Linux.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS and link to cross-platform tool installation guides.
  • Add a section on troubleshooting and verification using Linux tools (e.g., dig, nslookup, curl) and mention hosts file locations for Linux/macOS (/etc/hosts).
  • Where PowerShell is required, clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, and provide installation instructions.
