Summary
The documentation is generally platform-neutral, but there are minor signs of Windows bias. Specifically, mitigation steps for adding tags to Azure Firewall Policy mention using the Azure PowerShell cmdlet (`Set-AzFirewallPolicy`), with no mention of equivalent CLI or REST API methods. Additionally, the 'Missing PowerShell and CLI support for ICMP' issue references Azure PowerShell and CLI, but does not clarify Linux/macOS alternatives or parity. There are also references to IIS for FTP configuration, which is a Windows-specific tool, without mentioning Linux FTP server equivalents.
Recommendations
- Where PowerShell is suggested for configuration (e.g., updating tags), also provide Azure CLI and REST API alternatives, and clarify their cross-platform availability.
- When referencing FTP server configuration, include examples or links for popular Linux FTP servers (such as vsftpd or ProFTPD) alongside IIS.
- Explicitly state platform parity for Azure CLI and REST API usage, especially for tasks currently only documented with PowerShell.
- Review mitigation steps to ensure Linux/macOS users are not left without guidance for critical operations.
