Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by providing a connectivity verification example using the Windows-only 'tcping.exe' tool, without mentioning Linux alternatives. The only explicit command-line example is for Windows, and there is no parity example or tool recommendation for Linux users. Additionally, the documentation refers to PowerShell as a creation method before mentioning Azure CLI, which may subtly prioritize Windows-native tooling.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-equivalent examples for connectivity verification, such as using 'nc' (netcat), 'nmap', or 'tcping' for Linux.
  • When listing creation methods, mention cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, ARM templates) before or alongside PowerShell to avoid implying a Windows-first workflow.
  • Explicitly state that the instructions and tools are applicable to both Windows and Linux, or provide separate sections/examples for each platform where relevant.
  • For any tool recommendations (like 'tcping'), include links or installation instructions for both Windows and Linux versions, or suggest platform-agnostic alternatives.
