Summary
The documentation generally maintains OS neutrality but exhibits subtle Windows bias in the order of references and lack of Linux-specific examples. In the 'Monitoring connectivity from Azure virtual machines and virtual machine scale sets' section, the link to 'Manage Network Watcher extension for Windows' is listed before the Linux equivalent, and there are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) in the 'Create a connection monitor' section, where only Azure PowerShell is mentioned as a programmatic method. This may give the impression that Windows or PowerShell is the primary or preferred environment.
Recommendations
  • When listing OS-specific instructions or links, alternate the order or list Linux first in some sections to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Provide explicit Linux/Bash/Azure CLI examples alongside or before PowerShell examples when describing command-line or automation workflows.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI or ARM templates) equally or before Windows-specific tools like PowerShell.
  • Add a table or section summarizing parity between Windows and Linux for agent installation, troubleshooting, and automation.
  • Ensure that all references to monitoring agents, troubleshooting steps, and automation methods clearly state support for both Windows and Linux, and provide parallel examples where applicable.
