Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias in the testing and verification steps. While the Azure CLI commands are cross-platform, all virtual machine creation examples use Windows images, and all instructions for configuring firewalls and testing DNS resolution are written for Windows and PowerShell only. There are no Linux VM creation examples, nor are there instructions for configuring ICMP or testing DNS resolution on Linux/macOS. The use of Windows tools and PowerShell commands is exclusive, leaving Linux/macOS users without direct guidance.
Recommendations
  • Include examples for creating Linux VMs (e.g., using --image UbuntuLTS) alongside Windows VM examples.
  • Provide instructions for configuring ICMP/firewall rules on Linux (e.g., using ufw or firewalld).
  • Add Linux/macOS equivalents for DNS resolution testing (e.g., using ping, dig, or nslookup from a bash shell).
  • Show output examples from Linux/macOS terminals in addition to PowerShell.
  • Explicitly state that the Azure CLI commands work on all platforms and provide platform-specific notes where behavior may differ.
