Windows Tools
Powershell Heavy
Windows First
Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page for Azure ExpressRoute FAQ demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell is frequently referenced as a primary tool for configuration and management tasks, with no equivalent Bash, Linux CLI, or cross-platform examples provided. Instructions for tasks such as enabling/disabling ExpressRoute premium, configuring route filters, and modifying circuit bandwidth mention PowerShell and REST API, but do not offer Linux-specific CLI or Bash alternatives. The documentation refers to Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets) before mentioning Azure CLI, and sometimes omits Azure CLI or Linux shell examples entirely. There is no mention of Linux networking tools, nor are there examples or guidance for users operating from Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside or before PowerShell for all configuration and management tasks.
- Include Bash shell script snippets for common operations, especially those relevant to Linux administrators.
- Ensure REST API references are accompanied by cross-platform usage examples (e.g., curl commands).
- Explicitly mention that all operations can be performed from Linux/macOS environments, and link to relevant cross-platform tool documentation.
- Avoid listing Windows/PowerShell instructions first; alternate or combine with Linux/Azure CLI instructions.
- Add troubleshooting and operational guidance using Linux-native networking tools (e.g., ip, netstat, tcpdump) where relevant.
