Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. While the Azure CLI is correctly described as cross-platform and most command-line examples are OS-agnostic, the documentation repeatedly references Windows-specific tools, paths, and usage patterns before or instead of Linux equivalents. For example, the location of DNS zone files is given for Windows DNS with explicit paths and UI instructions, while the BIND/Linux equivalent is mentioned only briefly. The only explicit example for verifying DNS records uses the Windows Command Prompt and nslookup, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., dig or nslookup on Unix shells). There are no shell-specific examples for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations:
- When mentioning the location of DNS zone files, provide equal detail for both Windows DNS and BIND/Linux (e.g., typical BIND zone file locations such as /etc/bind/).
- When giving verification steps, include both Windows (cmd) and Linux/macOS (bash) examples, e.g., show how to use nslookup and dig from a Unix shell.
- Avoid phrases like 'Use Windows Command Prompt...' unless also providing the equivalent for other platforms.
- Where file paths are referenced, show both Windows and Unix-style path examples.
- Consider adding a short section or callout noting that all Azure CLI commands work identically on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and provide shell-appropriate syntax where relevant.
