Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based examples for configuring Azure Traffic Manager and App Service Environments. No equivalent instructions or code samples are given for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash, or REST API). The only automation tooling referenced is PowerShell, and the workflow assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and patterns. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may not have access to PowerShell or prefer platform-native tools.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, ensuring Linux/macOS users can follow along without installing PowerShell.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives (Azure CLI, REST API, ARM templates) and link to their documentation.
  • Where screenshots or tool references are shown (e.g., DNS lookup), clarify that the steps are platform-agnostic or provide Linux/macOS command examples (e.g., using dig or nslookup).
  • Reorder or parallelize examples so that Windows and Linux/macOS instructions are presented together, rather than Windows-first.
