Summary
The documentation page exclusively uses PowerShell cmdlets for all configuration, management, and viewing tasks related to ExpressRoute peering. There are no examples or instructions for Linux users, such as Azure CLI or Bash scripts, nor is there mention of cross-platform tools. The prerequisite section also refers only to installing PowerShell modules, reinforcing a Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for each PowerShell cmdlet shown, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include a section or callout at the start clarifying which tools are supported on which platforms, and link to installation instructions for Azure CLI on Linux.
  • Where possible, provide Bash script examples alongside PowerShell, or at least reference how Linux/macOS users can accomplish the same tasks.
  • Review and update the 'Download the latest PowerShell cmdlets' section to also mention Azure CLI installation and usage.
  • Ensure that future documentation for Azure networking features provides parity between Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Azure CLI workflows.
