Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell cmdlets and assumes the use of the Azure PowerShell module, with no mention of equivalent commands or tooling for Linux or cross-platform environments (such as Azure CLI, Bash, or REST API). All examples and prerequisites are Windows/PowerShell-centric, and there is no guidance for users on Linux or macOS systems.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions and examples using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include Bash shell examples for retrieving ARP tables or interacting with Azure resources.
  • Mention REST API options for users who may want to automate or script the retrieval of ARP tables without PowerShell.
  • Clearly indicate which instructions are Windows/PowerShell-specific, and provide parallel sections for Linux/macOS users.
  • Update the prerequisites to mention both PowerShell and Azure CLI as supported tools for this operation.
