Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Azure PowerShell commands as a prerequisite for ExpressRoute Direct enrollment, without mentioning Azure CLI or Bash alternatives. There are no Linux-specific instructions or parity in tooling examples, and the only command-line tooling mentioned is PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Wherever Azure PowerShell is mentioned, also provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands and Bash examples, or at least reference that these alternatives exist.
- Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux users can manage ExpressRoute resources, and link to cross-platform tooling documentation.
- Add a section or note clarifying that all required steps can be performed from Linux/macOS via Azure CLI, and provide links to relevant guides.
- Review all command references and ensure that Linux and cross-platform options are presented equally and not as an afterthought.
