Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows by providing migration instructions and advanced configuration steps (such as adding multiple prefixes to GatewaySubnet) exclusively via PowerShell, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or other cross-platform/Linux-friendly tools. There are no Linux-specific or cross-platform command examples, and PowerShell is presented as the only scripting interface for automation, which may disadvantage Linux users.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell instructions, especially for migration and subnet configuration tasks.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform options (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash scripts) alongside PowerShell in all relevant sections and next steps.
  • Where PowerShell is required due to feature gaps, clearly state this and provide a roadmap or workaround for Linux users.
  • Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS administrators, summarizing which steps can be performed using cross-platform tools and which currently require PowerShell.
  • Ensure that links to migration guides and troubleshooting include both PowerShell and Azure CLI/Bash options where possible.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing all Azure-side command-line examples exclusively in PowerShell, with no equivalent Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash examples. Additionally, network validation steps from the client side use Windows tools (tracert) and Windows-style paths (C:\Users\...), with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., traceroute). This may disadvantage users operating from Linux or macOS environments.
Recommendations:
  • For every PowerShell example, provide an equivalent Azure CLI (az) command example, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • When demonstrating network validation from the client side, include both Windows (tracert) and Linux (traceroute) command examples.
  • Use generic file paths or clarify that steps apply to both Windows and Linux environments where possible.
  • Explicitly mention that the procedures are applicable regardless of the on-premises OS, and provide guidance or links for users on non-Windows systems.
  • Consider including Bash script snippets or references to Linux-native tools for parity.

Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary:
The documentation exclusively uses the Azure portal GUI for all instructions and does not provide any command-line examples. There are no references to PowerShell, Windows tools, or CLI commands, but the lack of Azure CLI or Linux-based instructions means Linux users do not have parity. The documentation implicitly assumes a GUI-first (and thus, often Windows-first) workflow, which may disadvantage users who prefer or require command-line or Linux-native approaches.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI instructions for each step, ensuring they work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed using the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Where verification steps are described (e.g., viewing ARP tables or route tables), include CLI commands (such as az network express-route or az network vnet-gateway) alongside portal instructions.
  • Ensure that any references to tools or workflows are cross-platform, or provide alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider including a table or section comparing portal, Azure CLI, and PowerShell workflows for each major step.

Summary:
The documentation is generally platform-neutral and focuses on network routing concepts, but there are minor instances of Windows bias. Specifically, there is a reference to Windows VM license activation in the context of default route advertisement, and the list of Microsoft 365 services highlights Windows-centric products (Exchange, SharePoint, Skype for Business, Teams) before mentioning others. There are no PowerShell-heavy sections, Windows-only tools, or missing Linux examples, but the only explicit OS reference is to Windows.
Recommendations:
  • When mentioning issues like VM license activation, clarify that similar issues may affect Linux VMs (e.g., Azure Linux VM activation or cloud-init scenarios) if applicable, or explicitly state if the issue is Windows-only.
  • If referencing troubleshooting or configuration for VM activation, provide links or notes for both Windows and Linux VM scenarios.
  • When listing Microsoft 365 services, consider a more neutral phrasing or include a broader range of services to avoid the appearance of Windows-first bias.
  • Continue to avoid OS-specific tooling (such as PowerShell or Windows command-line) unless parity examples for Linux (Bash, CLI) are also provided.

Windows First Powershell Heavy
Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for deployment, validation, and cleanup steps. However, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and in some sections, PowerShell is presented immediately after CLI without clarification that PowerShell is primarily a Windows tool. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or mentions of Linux shell environments, and no guidance for users on macOS or Linux regarding PowerShell Core compatibility.
Recommendations:
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and works natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS, while PowerShell examples are for users who prefer or require PowerShell (and mention PowerShell Core for cross-platform use).
  • Consider presenting Azure CLI examples first, as it is the most universally applicable across platforms.
  • Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users, confirming that all CLI commands work in Bash and other Unix shells.
  • If PowerShell is included, specify that it is available cross-platform as PowerShell Core, and provide installation links or references for non-Windows users.
  • Explicitly state that no Windows-only tools or steps are required, and that the process is fully supported on Linux and macOS.

Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows by exclusively using PowerShell cmdlets for all configuration, management, and viewing tasks. There are no examples or instructions for Linux users, such as Azure CLI or Bash equivalents. The only tooling mentioned is PowerShell, which is traditionally a Windows-centric tool, though it is now cross-platform. No Linux-native patterns or commands are provided.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for each PowerShell cmdlet shown, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and commonly used on Linux.
  • Include a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, clarifying how to perform these tasks without PowerShell.
  • Where possible, provide Bash script examples or references to REST API usage for advanced users.
  • Reorganize the documentation to present both PowerShell and Azure CLI options side-by-side, or allow users to select their preferred platform at the top of the article.
  • Explicitly state that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, if PowerShell must be used, and provide installation instructions for those platforms.

Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
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.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing all Azure-side command-line examples exclusively in PowerShell, with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native equivalents. Additionally, network validation and failover testing examples use Windows tools (tracert) and Windows-style command prompts, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., traceroute). This prioritizes Windows environments and omits guidance for users on Linux or cross-platform systems.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Azure CLI (az) command equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for route validation and ExpressRoute circuit management.
  • Include Linux-native command examples (e.g., traceroute instead of tracert) alongside Windows examples when demonstrating network validation from on-premises servers.
  • Explicitly mention that the procedures can be performed from both Windows and Linux environments, and provide guidance or links for Linux users.
  • Where screenshots or sample outputs are shown from Windows terminals, consider adding corresponding Linux/Bash terminal examples.
  • Review the documentation for any other Windows-centric terminology or assumptions, and ensure Linux parity throughout.

This creates a strong Windows/PowerShell bias and limits accessibility for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI examples for all configuration, management, and status-checking tasks, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include a section or callout at the beginning of the article explaining that all tasks can be performed using Azure CLI, with a link to the relevant CLI documentation.
  • Where PowerShell-specific instructions are given (such as installing cmdlets), provide parallel instructions for installing and using Azure CLI.
  • Consider restructuring the article or adding tabs/switchers to allow users to select their preferred tool (PowerShell or Azure CLI), ensuring parity in instructions and examples.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, if relevant, and provide installation guidance for non-Windows users if PowerShell must be used.

Windows First
Summary:
The documentation is generally platform-neutral, focusing on network concepts and configuration requirements. However, there is a notable instance of Windows bias: in the section on advertising default routes, only Windows VM license activation is mentioned as being affected, with a workaround link specifically for Windows (KMS activation). There are no Linux-specific examples, issues, or workarounds discussed, nor are Linux tools or patterns referenced.
Recommendations:
  • When discussing issues that affect VM license activation due to routing (such as KMS for Windows), also mention whether there are equivalent concerns for Linux VMs (e.g., activation, repository access, or other licensing mechanisms).
  • If there are Linux-specific routing or activation considerations (such as access to package repositories or cloud-init endpoints), include them alongside Windows examples.
  • Where possible, provide parity in troubleshooting or workaround documentation for both Windows and Linux VM scenarios.
  • Explicitly state if a limitation or workaround is only relevant to Windows, and clarify that Linux VMs are unaffected, if that is the case.

Powershell Heavy Windows First Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout. All code examples are in PowerShell, and the workflow is centered around the AzureCT PowerShell module, which is only available for Windows. The instructions for installing and running tools (iPerf, PSPing) are Windows-centric, including references to Windows Firewall and installation paths (e.g., C:\ACTTools). There is no step-by-step guidance or command-line examples for Linux users, and Linux is only mentioned passively as a possible remote host. Even in the test setup and results, only Windows Server is used. The documentation does not provide Linux equivalents for the PowerShell-based workflow, nor does it mention or demonstrate how to perform equivalent tests on Linux systems.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel Linux instructions and examples for each step, including how to install and use iPerf and PSPing (or Linux alternatives) on Linux hosts.
  • Include bash or shell command examples for Linux users, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Document how to perform link performance tests between two Linux hosts, or between Windows and Linux, without requiring the AzureCT PowerShell module.
  • Clarify which parts of the workflow are Windows-only and offer alternative workflows for Linux environments.
  • Include sample output from Linux command-line tools to help Linux users interpret their results.
  • Mention Linux firewall configuration (e.g., ufw, firewalld, iptables) where Windows Firewall is discussed.
  • In test setup and results, include scenarios using Linux VMs and servers, not just Windows Server.

Summary:
The documentation page exclusively describes how to view and configure alerts for Azure ExpressRoute circuit maintenance using the Azure portal GUI. There are no command-line examples or automation instructions provided for any platform, but notably, there is a lack of CLI, PowerShell, or Bash examples. This omission can be considered a bias of omission, as many Azure docs provide PowerShell or Windows-centric instructions without Linux equivalents. In this case, the absence of both PowerShell and Bash/CLI examples means Linux users do not have parity for automation or scripting.
Recommendations:
  • Add Azure CLI examples for viewing and configuring Service Health alerts, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • If PowerShell examples are added, ensure Bash/Azure CLI equivalents are also provided.
  • Include references to relevant REST API endpoints for advanced automation, with sample requests using curl or similar Linux-friendly tools.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed using the Azure CLI or REST API, and link to relevant documentation for those workflows.

Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell examples for Azure-side configuration and validation, referencing the Azure portal (which is cross-platform but often Windows-centric in documentation), and omitting Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Linux-native command examples. All device-side configuration examples are for Cisco IOS-XE, with no mention of Linux-based VPN solutions (e.g., strongSwan, libreswan). There are no Linux/Unix command-line examples for validation or configuration, and PowerShell is consistently used for Azure operations.
Recommendations:
  • Add Azure CLI examples alongside or in place of PowerShell for all Azure-side configuration and validation steps, as Azure CLI is fully cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • Include Linux-based VPN device configuration examples (e.g., strongSwan, libreswan) in addition to Cisco IOS-XE, to support organizations using Linux appliances.
  • When referencing how to obtain information (such as public IPs or connection status), provide both PowerShell and Azure CLI commands.
  • Ensure that validation and troubleshooting steps include Linux-native tools (e.g., ipsec status, journalctl, ip route) for parity with Cisco and Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Where possible, avoid presenting PowerShell as the default or only automation/scripting option for Azure, and highlight the cross-platform nature of Azure CLI.
