Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All VM creation examples use Windows images (win2016datacenter), and the testing section instructs users to connect via Remote Desktop and run PowerShell commands, with no mention of Linux VM images, SSH, or Linux shell equivalents. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples for testing firewall rules, and Windows-centric tools (RDP, PowerShell) are assumed throughout.
Recommendations
  • Include examples for creating Linux VMs (e.g., using Ubuntu images) alongside Windows VM instructions.
  • Provide SSH connection instructions for Linux/macOS users, rather than only Remote Desktop.
  • Offer Linux shell command equivalents for PowerShell commands used in testing (e.g., using curl, wget, dig, or nslookup in bash).
  • Explicitly state that the Azure CLI commands work cross-platform, and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • Reorder or parallelize instructions so that Linux and Windows options are presented equally.
