Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is consistently presented as a primary automation method, and Windows-centric tools and output formats are referenced or shown first. While Azure CLI examples are included (which are cross-platform), there is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS-specific guidance or examples, especially for common verification and troubleshooting steps. Output samples are often shown for Windows, and there is little mention of Linux-specific nuances or tools (e.g., dig, host, Linux shell scripting patterns).
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific command examples and outputs alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples, especially for verification steps (e.g., show dig or host output in addition to nslookup).
- Include troubleshooting notes or caveats relevant to Linux environments (e.g., DNS caching, differences in nslookup behavior, SELinux/firewall considerations).
- Balance the order of presentation so that cross-platform or Linux-native tools are not always secondary to Windows/PowerShell.
- Where PowerShell is used, consider offering Bash or shell script equivalents for Linux users.
- Explicitly state when a command or output is Windows-specific, and provide parallel Linux/macOS context.
- Reference Linux tools (e.g., systemd-resolved, /etc/resolv.conf) where appropriate in networking and DNS configuration sections.
