Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, specifically PowerShell. All configuration steps and code samples use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native tools. File paths and command syntax are Windows-centric (e.g., C:\NetworkConfig.xml). There are no examples or guidance for users on Linux or macOS platforms, and the installation instructions focus solely on PowerShell modules.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include Linux/macOS file path examples (e.g., /home/user/NetworkConfig.xml) alongside Windows paths.
  • Add a section or callouts for users on Linux/macOS, including installation instructions for Azure CLI and/or PowerShell Core on those platforms.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic language and tools, or clearly indicate when a step is Windows-specific.
  • Consider reordering or parallelizing instructions so that Linux/macOS methods are presented alongside Windows methods, rather than Windows-first.
