Summary:
The documentation page shows a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is the only command-line example provided for configuring NSG flow log settings (specifically, setting FlowTimeoutInMinutes), with no equivalent CLI or Linux shell example. The only scripting tool referenced for configuration is PowerShell, and the cmdlet Set-AzVirtualNetwork is highlighted without mention of Azure CLI or REST API alternatives. This may disadvantage Linux or cross-platform users. Additionally, the 'Read flow logs using PowerShell functions' link is listed before any cross-platform or Linux-native tooling, and there are no explicit Linux/Bash examples for log access, export, or configuration.
Recommendations:
- Provide Azure CLI (az network vnet update ...) and/or REST API examples alongside PowerShell for all configuration tasks, especially for setting FlowTimeoutInMinutes.
- Include Linux/Bash shell command examples for reading, exporting, and processing NSG flow logs.
- When listing tools or guides, avoid placing Windows/PowerShell options first by default; alternate ordering or group by platform.
- Explicitly mention that all features are available via cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API) and provide links to those docs.
- Where possible, add troubleshooting and workflow examples relevant to Linux environments.
