Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention of Azure CLI or Bash equivalents, which are more commonly used on Linux and macOS. The DNS testing example uses nslookup in a Windows PowerShell prompt, and there are no examples using dig or host, which are standard on Linux. The documentation refers to Windows tools and patterns exclusively and does not provide Linux-specific guidance or parity.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside or in place of PowerShell for all DNS record creation and web app configuration steps.
- Include DNS query examples using dig and/or host, which are standard on Linux, in addition to or instead of nslookup.
- Avoid showing only PowerShell prompts (e.g., 'PS C:\>') and instead use generic shell prompts or show both Windows and Linux terminal examples.
- Explicitly mention that the steps can be performed from any OS, and provide links or notes for installing required tools on Linux/macOS.
- Consider restructuring the documentation to present cross-platform examples side-by-side, or default to Azure CLI, which is cross-platform.
