Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in its operational examples and tooling. All Azure-side command-line examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux/macOS equivalents. Network validation examples (traceroute) use Windows syntax first and only, and there are no references to Linux tools or commands for equivalent tasks. This creates friction for users on Linux or macOS platforms, who must translate PowerShell commands and Windows-centric patterns to their own environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI (az) command equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for ExpressRoute and VPN gateway route validation and peering management.
  • Include Linux/macOS traceroute examples (e.g., using 'traceroute' or 'tracepath') alongside Windows 'tracert' output.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform tooling and note any differences in command output or usage between Windows and Linux/macOS.
  • Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, summarizing how to perform key validation and failover steps on those platforms.
