Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and diagnostic commands frequently present Windows/PowerShell tools (e.g., 'tnc', 'psping.exe') first or exclusively, with Linux equivalents (e.g., 'telnet') mentioned secondarily or not at all. Some tools (like 'psping.exe') are Windows-only, and logging/tracing sections focus on .NET and Windows-centric tools (Application Insights, EventSource) without mentioning Linux alternatives. There are few explicit Linux/macOS examples, and some sections (e.g., resource deletion recommendations) list PowerShell before CLI, with no bash or Linux-native instructions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all diagnostic commands and troubleshooting steps, such as using 'nc', 'ss', or 'nmap' for port checks.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific instructions and examples alongside Windows/PowerShell ones, ensuring parity in troubleshooting workflows.
  • Mention cross-platform tools for network diagnostics (e.g., 'tcpdump', 'netcat', 'Wireshark') and clarify their usage on Linux/macOS.
  • Expand logging and tracing sections to reference cross-platform frameworks and tools (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Zipkin) and provide sample code for non-.NET environments.
  • Where Windows tools are referenced (e.g., 'psping.exe'), suggest open-source or platform-agnostic alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Ensure that CLI examples (e.g., Azure CLI) are given equal prominence to PowerShell, and provide bash scripts where relevant.
