Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the verification and VM creation sections. The portal-based instructions exclusively use Windows Server images for VM creation and only provide PowerShell commands for DNS verification, with no mention of Linux VM options or equivalent Linux shell commands. The Azure CLI instructions for VM creation also default to a Windows image, and there are no Linux-specific examples or guidance for users who prefer or require Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel Linux VM creation instructions in both portal and CLI sections, using a popular Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu).
  • Provide Linux shell equivalents (e.g., using 'dig' or 'nslookup' in Bash) for DNS verification steps.
  • Explicitly mention that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used for testing, and clarify any differences in steps.
  • Alternate or balance the order of Windows and Linux examples to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer Bash or other Linux shell alternatives.
