Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several troubleshooting steps. Diagnostic commands (PsPing, Ping) and host file editing instructions are given only for Windows (Azure VM), with explicit references to Windows paths and tools. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or instructions, and Windows-specific tools (psping.exe, Notepad, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) are mentioned exclusively. This may hinder Linux/macOS users attempting similar troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all diagnostic commands (e.g., use 'ping', 'nc', or 'curl' for connectivity checks).
  • Include instructions for editing the /etc/hosts file on Linux/macOS, with appropriate permissions and editors.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., 'nmap', 'telnet', 'curl') where possible, rather than Windows-only utilities.
  • When showing examples, alternate or parallelize Windows and Linux/macOS instructions.
  • Clarify that troubleshooting steps apply to both Windows and Linux, and specify any platform-specific caveats.
