This page is part of the Azure documentation. It contains code examples and configuration instructions for working with Azure services.

Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line deployment instructions use Azure PowerShell, and the validation step uses Windows Command Prompt syntax (cmd). There are no examples or instructions for using Azure CLI (which is cross-platform and preferred on Linux/macOS), nor are there any Linux shell or terminal examples for validation (e.g., using dig or nslookup in a bash shell). The workflow and screenshots are tailored to Windows users, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI examples for deploying the ARM template, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and commonly used on Linux/macOS.
  • Include Linux/macOS shell instructions for validation, such as using nslookup or dig from a bash terminal.
  • When referencing command-line tools, avoid using only Windows Command Prompt syntax; show both Windows and Linux/macOS alternatives side by side.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and provide instructions for both.
  • Add screenshots or output examples from Linux/macOS terminals where appropriate.
  • Rephrase steps to be OS-agnostic where possible, or clearly indicate when a step is specific to Windows.

Flagged Code Snippets

You should see something like the following screenshot: :::image type="content" source="./media/dns-getstarted-template/dns-zone-validation.png" alt-text="DNS zone nslookup"::: The host name `www.2lwynbseszpam.azurequickstart.org` resolves to `203.0.113.1` and `203.0.113.2`, just as you configured it. This result verifies that name resolution is working correctly. ## Clean up resources When you no longer need the resources that you created with the DNS zone, delete the resource group. This action removes the DNS zone and all the related resources. To delete the resource group, call the `Remove-AzResourceGroup` cmdlet:
