Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily in the troubleshooting and verification steps. The only explicit command-line example for verifying connectivity uses tcping.exe, a Windows-specific tool, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no Linux shell or Azure CLI examples for connectivity testing, and the only tool referenced for port testing is a Windows executable. Additionally, the general pattern is to mention PowerShell and Resource Manager templates before Azure CLI, and there are no Linux-specific instructions or screenshots.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS examples for connectivity testing, such as using 'nc' (netcat), 'telnet', or 'nmap' for port checks.
- Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., 'tcping' for Linux, or alternatives like 'curl' or 'openssl s_client') alongside Windows tools.
- When listing automation options, mention Azure CLI before or alongside PowerShell and Resource Manager templates.
- Include screenshots or instructions that are not specific to the Windows Azure Portal experience, or clarify that the portal is web-based and platform-agnostic.
- Explicitly state that all steps can be performed from any OS, and provide command-line examples for both Windows and Linux where relevant.
