Summary
The documentation is focused on gateway-required virtual network integration for Azure App Service, which is explicitly stated to only work for Windows plans. However, troubleshooting and connectivity examples (e.g., Test-NetConnection PowerShell command, netstat -aon) are Windows-centric, and Linux/macOS equivalents are not provided. The use of Windows tools and commands without Linux alternatives creates friction for cross-platform users, especially those troubleshooting from Linux VMs or environments.
Recommendations
  • Clarify early that the feature is Windows-only for App Service, but troubleshooting steps may apply to cross-platform scenarios (e.g., VMs in the virtual network).
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for troubleshooting commands, such as using 'nc' (netcat), 'telnet', or 'ss' for TCP connectivity, and 'lsof' or 'netstat' for port listening.
  • When referencing PowerShell commands, add a note or example for Linux users (e.g., 'On Linux, use nc hostname port' or 'ss -ltn').
  • Ensure that any guidance for VM-level troubleshooting is platform-neutral or includes both Windows and Linux/macOS instructions.
