Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments, exclusively providing PowerShell cmdlets and referencing the Windows PowerShell module for Azure. There are no instructions or examples for Linux or cross-platform CLI tools (such as Azure CLI), nor are any Linux-native commands or workflows mentioned. The prerequisites and all troubleshooting steps assume the use of Windows and PowerShell, with no mention of alternatives for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions and examples using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and works on both Linux and Windows.
  • Include sample commands for retrieving ARP tables or relevant ExpressRoute information from Linux environments.
  • Mention the availability of Azure CLI and how to install it on Linux, as an alternative to the Windows PowerShell module.
  • Rephrase prerequisites and steps to be platform-neutral, or provide parallel sections for Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Azure CLI.
  • If certain functionality is only available via PowerShell, explicitly state this limitation and provide any possible workarounds for Linux users.
