Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell examples for Azure-side configuration and validation, referencing the Azure portal (which is platform-agnostic but often used in Windows contexts), and omitting Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash examples. All device configuration examples are for Cisco IOS/CSR, with no Linux-based VPN device (e.g., strongSwan, libreswan) configuration or validation commands. The workflow and validation steps consistently present PowerShell commands first or exclusively, with no parity for Linux administrators.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside all Azure PowerShell commands for resource creation, configuration, and validation.
- Include Linux-based VPN device configuration examples (e.g., strongSwan, libreswan) in addition to Cisco IOS/CSR examples, especially for on-premises device setup and tunnel validation.
- When referencing the Azure portal, clarify its cross-platform nature and provide CLI alternatives where possible.
- Present both PowerShell and CLI/Bash commands in parallel, or at least link to equivalent Linux/CLI documentation.
- Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed from Linux/macOS environments using Azure CLI, and provide references or links to those instructions.
- Add validation and troubleshooting steps using Linux-native tools (e.g., ipsec status, journalctl, tcpdump) for tunnel and BGP session checks.
