Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for configuring Azure Firewall DNS settings, but the PowerShell examples are prominent and detailed, reflecting a bias toward Windows-centric tooling. There are no Linux-specific command-line examples (such as Bash scripts or Linux-native tools), and PowerShell is presented as an equal alternative to CLI, despite being primarily a Windows tool. The documentation does not mention or address Linux-specific considerations or workflows, and the ordering of examples sometimes places PowerShell before or at parity with CLI, which may not reflect the cross-platform user base.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples for all CLI commands, demonstrating usage in a typical Linux environment.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Windows, macOS, and Linux, while PowerShell is primarily for Windows users (unless using PowerShell Core).
  • Consider providing Linux-specific notes or troubleshooting tips, such as how to restart network services on Linux VMs after DNS changes.
  • Where possible, lead with CLI/Bash examples before PowerShell, as CLI is more universally accessible across platforms.
  • Include references or links to Linux administration documentation for related tasks (e.g., updating DNS settings on Linux VMs).

Flagged Code Snippets

#### [PowerShell](#tab/powershell)

You can use Azure PowerShell to configure DNS proxy settings in Azure Firewall. You can also use it to update virtual networks to use Azure Firewall as the DNS server.

##### Configure virtual network DNS servers

The following example configures the virtual network to use Azure Firewall as a DNS server.


> [!IMPORTANT]
> The command `az network firewall` requires the Azure CLI extension `azure-firewall` to be installed. You can install it by using the command `az extension add --name azure-firewall`. 

#### [PowerShell](#tab/powershell)

The following example updates Azure Firewall with custom DNS servers by using Azure PowerShell.
