Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell examples are provided alongside Azure CLI, but no explicit Linux shell or Bash alternatives are given for PowerShell commands. The outbound IP address retrieval section lists Azure PowerShell after Azure CLI, but does not clarify that PowerShell is Windows-centric or provide Linux-native alternatives. Outbound IPv6 support is noted as available only for Windows apps, with no parity for Linux. There is also a lack of Linux-specific troubleshooting or command-line guidance, and no mention of Linux tools (e.g., dig instead of nslookup, or Bash scripting).
Recommendations:
- For every PowerShell example, provide an equivalent Bash or Linux-native command (e.g., using Azure CLI in Bash, or REST API with curl).
- Clarify in the documentation when a feature or command is Windows-only, and provide Linux alternatives or workarounds where possible.
- In sections where outbound IPv6 is discussed, explicitly state the lack of Linux support and link to tracking issues or roadmaps for Linux parity.
- Include Linux-native tools in examples (e.g., suggest dig as an alternative to nslookup, or show how to use jq with Azure CLI outputs).
- Add troubleshooting or verification steps that are platform-agnostic or provide both Windows and Linux instructions.
- Review the order of examples to avoid always listing Windows/PowerShell first; alternate or group by platform.
