Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias in the 'Test connectivity' section, where the use of PSPING in Azure PowerShell is presented as an alternative to redis-cli, but no Linux/macOS equivalent (such as nc or telnet) is provided. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively, and Windows-specific instructions appear before any Linux alternatives. This could create friction for Linux/macOS users trying to troubleshoot connectivity.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for PSPING, such as using 'nc', 'telnet', or 'nmap' to test connectivity.
  • Include example commands for both Windows and Linux/macOS platforms in troubleshooting sections.
  • Clearly label platform-specific instructions and avoid presenting Windows tools as the default or only option.
  • Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform or Linux/macOS instructions are presented alongside or before Windows-specific ones.
