Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell-specific commands and Windows-native tools (e.g., 'ps ping', 'netsh') without providing equivalent Linux commands or guidance. Examples and troubleshooting steps assume a Windows environment, and there are no Linux/Unix alternatives or parity in the instructions. This may hinder users operating Linux-based Azure VMs or those more familiar with Linux tooling.
Recommendations
  • For every PowerShell or Windows-native tool example (such as 'ps ping' or 'netsh'), provide equivalent Linux commands (e.g., 'ping', 'ss', 'tcpdump', 'traceroute', 'ncat', or 'ip netns').
  • When referencing command-line examples, clearly indicate both Windows and Linux syntax, or provide tabs/switches for each OS.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows VMs; explicitly mention that instructions apply to both Windows and Linux, or provide OS-specific guidance where necessary.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and diagnostic tool recommendations that are available and commonly used on Linux (e.g., 'tcpdump', 'netstat', 'ss', 'lsof').
  • Review all sections for implicit Windows-first language or assumptions, and revise to ensure Linux users are equally supported.
