Managing complex network architectures with BGP communities - Azure ExpressRoute
...ocs/blob/main/articles/expressroute/bgp-communities.md
Low Priority

Detected Bias Types
Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page describes BGP community management in Azure ExpressRoute without providing any platform-specific configuration examples. However, the only guidance for configuring BGP communities refers users to the Azure portal, with no mention of CLI-based configuration methods (such as Azure CLI, PowerShell, or REST API). There is no explicit Windows bias in terms of examples or tool references, but the lack of Linux-oriented instructions (e.g., Azure CLI) means Linux users may not find parity in guidance.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for configuring BGP communities using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- If PowerShell examples are provided elsewhere, ensure Azure CLI equivalents are included and presented with equal prominence.
- Explicitly mention REST API options for automation, which are platform-agnostic.
- Where possible, provide sample commands for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Azure CLI) environments.

Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page describes managing BGP communities in Azure ExpressRoute but does not provide any platform-specific configuration examples, scripts, or tool references. However, the only 'Next steps' link refers to configuring BGP communities using the Azure portal, which is a GUI and not platform-specific. There are no Windows/Powershell examples, nor are any Windows tools or patterns mentioned. The page lacks parity for Linux users by not mentioning CLI-based configuration (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux networking tools), which may be preferred in Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Add examples for configuring BGP communities using Azure CLI and Bash scripts to support Linux users.
- Include references to cross-platform tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) for automating BGP community configuration.
- Explicitly state that configuration can be performed from any OS and provide links to both portal and CLI documentation.
- If troubleshooting is discussed, mention Linux-native tools (e.g., tcpdump, iproute2) alongside any Windows equivalents.

Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page does not provide any platform-specific configuration examples or tooling references (Windows or Linux). However, the only configuration guidance links to the Azure portal, with no mention of CLI, PowerShell, or Linux-based tools. This omission may disadvantage Linux users who prefer command-line or automation-based workflows.
Recommendations
- Add examples for configuring BGP communities using Azure CLI and/or Azure PowerShell, ensuring both Windows and Linux users are supported.
- Include references or links to documentation for automating BGP community configuration via scripts (e.g., Bash for Linux, PowerShell for Windows).
- Explicitly mention that the Azure portal is cross-platform, but also provide parity for users who prefer non-GUI approaches.

Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation exclusively uses the Azure Portal (GUI) for all configuration steps and does not provide any command-line examples. There are no references to Windows-specific tools or PowerShell, but there is also a complete absence of CLI-based instructions (such as Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell), which are commonly used on both Windows and Linux. This omission can disadvantage Linux users who prefer or require command-line automation, as the Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used in Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions using the Azure CLI for each major step (e.g., creating the ExpressRoute circuit, enabling private peering, creating the virtual network gateway, and linking resources).
- Ensure that all CLI examples are tested and work on both Windows and Linux shells (e.g., Bash).
- If referencing PowerShell, always provide Azure CLI equivalents and present them either before or alongside PowerShell examples.
- Explicitly mention that the Azure CLI is available cross-platform and provide installation links for Linux users.
- Consider including automation scripts or templates (e.g., ARM, Bicep, Terraform) that are platform-agnostic.

Detected Bias Types
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.

Missing Linux Example
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.
