Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing a connectivity test example using PSPING in PowerShell without offering an equivalent Linux command or tool. The use of PSPING and PowerShell is Windows-specific, and there is no mention of Linux alternatives (such as nc, telnet, or nmap). Additionally, the Windows example appears before any Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, and Linux guidance is limited to a single note about TCP settings, lacking actionable troubleshooting commands.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux equivalents for connectivity testing, such as using 'nc', 'telnet', or 'nmap' to check port connectivity to the Redis instance.
- When introducing tools like PSPING, mention both Windows and Linux options together, or present Linux examples first if the majority of Azure workloads are Linux-based.
- Expand the 'Linux-based client application' section to include actionable troubleshooting steps and commands, not just a reference to a GitHub issue.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools (like redis-cli) as primary examples, and clearly indicate platform-specific instructions in separate subsections.
- Review the order of examples to ensure Linux and Windows are given equal prominence, or alternate which platform appears first in each section.
