Summary
The documentation provides three main tabs for signing a DNS zone: Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and PowerShell. The PowerShell tab is Windows-centric, and PowerShell examples are given in detail. The CLI tab uses Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but references 'dig.exe' (a Windows-specific executable name) for DNS queries, rather than the generic 'dig' command. The ordering of tabs places PowerShell as a first-class citizen, and there is no mention of Linux/macOS-specific shell usage or examples (e.g., Bash, zsh). There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples or screenshots, and the only command-line tool mentioned outside Azure CLI is 'dig.exe', which may confuse non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Replace references to 'dig.exe' with 'dig', and clarify that 'dig' is available on Linux/macOS and can be installed on Windows.
  • Add explicit Bash/zsh examples for querying DS records, e.g., using 'dig' and 'jq' on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on all platforms and provide example shell environments for Linux/macOS.
  • Add screenshots or instructions for Linux/macOS environments where relevant.
  • Consider reordering tabs or examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI) are presented before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell).
