Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell examples for Azure-side configuration and validation, referencing the Azure portal (which is cross-platform but often Windows-centric in documentation), and omitting Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Linux-native command examples. All device-side configuration examples are for Cisco IOS-XE, with no mention of Linux-based VPN solutions (e.g., strongSwan, libreswan). There are no Linux/Unix command-line examples for validation or configuration, and PowerShell is consistently used for Azure operations.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples alongside or in place of PowerShell for all Azure-side configuration and validation steps, as Azure CLI is fully cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Include Linux-based VPN device configuration examples (e.g., strongSwan, libreswan) in addition to Cisco IOS-XE, to support organizations using Linux appliances.
- When referencing how to obtain information (such as public IPs or connection status), provide both PowerShell and Azure CLI commands.
- Ensure that validation and troubleshooting steps include Linux-native tools (e.g., ipsec status, journalctl, ip route) for parity with Cisco and Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Where possible, avoid presenting PowerShell as the default or only automation/scripting option for Azure, and highlight the cross-platform nature of Azure CLI.
