Summary
The documentation generally provides both Linux and Windows options, but there is a tendency to mention or provide Windows/PowerShell examples before Linux/Azure CLI equivalents. PowerShell is often listed before Azure CLI, and Windows Server DNS configuration is referenced before Linux/BIND in some places. There is also a direct link to Windows Server DNS documentation, while Linux/BIND instructions are more detailed but not always referenced as the primary or only option.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI and Linux-based examples before or alongside PowerShell/Windows examples to avoid the appearance of Windows-first bias.
  • When referencing DNS server configuration, provide equal prominence and links to both Windows Server and Linux/BIND documentation.
  • Ensure that all steps and examples are available for both Linux and Windows environments, and that neither is presented as the default or primary approach.
  • In sections where PowerShell is used, always provide an equivalent Azure CLI example immediately adjacent, or vice versa.
  • Where possible, clarify that both Windows and Linux DNS servers are supported and provide clear, parallel instructions for each.

For information on using DNS on **Windows Server 2016**, see the [Add-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone](/powershell/module/dnsserver/add-dnsserverconditionalforwarderzone) documentation...

Once you've configured the on-premises DNS server, you can use `nslookup` from the on-premises network to verify that you can resolve names in the virtual network. The following example
