Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All command-line examples use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention of Azure CLI or Bash equivalents. The troubleshooting steps and automation are exclusively shown in PowerShell syntax, and the only explicit connectivity test tool referenced is PsPing, which is a Windows-only Sysinternals utility. There are no Linux/macOS command examples, nor are cross-platform alternatives discussed. Windows-centric tools and patterns are presented first and exclusively, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell for all resource and peering verification steps.
- Include Bash or shell script examples for common tasks, such as querying circuit status or peering configuration.
- Suggest cross-platform connectivity test tools (e.g., hping, nping, or standard ping/traceroute) in addition to PsPing, and clarify their usage for Linux/macOS users.
- Explicitly note which steps/tools are Windows-only and offer Linux/macOS alternatives where possible.
- Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform options are presented first or equally with Windows-specific ones.
