Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. PowerShell is the only command-line tool shown for configuring NSG flow log settings (e.g., setting FlowTimeoutInMinutes), with no equivalent Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native example. The reference to PowerShell (Set-AzVirtualNetwork) appears before any mention of other platforms, and there is no guidance for Linux users. The documentation also references tools like Power BI (a Microsoft/Windows-centric tool) before open-source or cross-platform alternatives, and does not provide parity in example commands or workflows for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI examples (az network vnet update ...) alongside or before PowerShell for all configuration tasks, especially for setting properties like FlowTimeoutInMinutes.
- Include Bash or shell script snippets where appropriate, to demonstrate cross-platform usage.
- When listing visualization tools, alternate or balance the order (e.g., mention Grafana or Elastic Stack before or alongside Power BI) and provide links to Linux-friendly guides.
- Explicitly state that all features and workflows are available on both Windows and Linux, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, add a note or section for Linux/macOS users with equivalent commands.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and setup sections include steps for both Windows and Linux environments.
