Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The tutorial demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively deploying and testing with Windows Server virtual machines and using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Internet Explorer for validation. There are no examples or instructions for deploying Linux servers, using SSH, or testing with Linux-native tools. All server deployment and connectivity testing steps assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
  • Include parallel instructions for deploying Linux virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu Server) alongside Windows Server.
  • Provide examples for connecting to Linux VMs using SSH, and for testing firewall rules with Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, wget, or a Linux browser).
  • Demonstrate how to test application and network rules from a Linux VM, such as using SSH to connect between VMs or using command-line tools to access allowed/blocked FQDNs.
  • Mention both RDP (for Windows) and SSH (for Linux) in firewall rule creation and testing sections.
  • Use neutral language when referring to operating systems, and avoid assuming the user will always deploy Windows workloads.

Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation provides only a PowerShell example (Remove-AzResourceGroup) for cleaning up resources, with no equivalent command for Linux users (such as Azure CLI or Bash). Additionally, the firewall policy example specifically references Windows Update using the WindowsUpdate FQDN tag, and there are no Linux-specific or cross-platform examples or guidance provided.
Recommendations:
  • Include Azure CLI (az group delete) and/or Bash examples alongside PowerShell for resource cleanup, to support Linux and macOS users.
  • When referencing firewall rules, provide examples for both Windows-specific (e.g., Windows Update) and common Linux update endpoints (e.g., Ubuntu, Red Hat repositories) to ensure parity.
  • Review all command-line instructions and ensure both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (CLI/Bash) equivalents are presented.
  • Consider adding a note or section on how to perform all steps using cross-platform tools, not just those available on Windows.

Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation provides configuration examples only for the Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the PowerShell examples are Windows-centric, and there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or automation examples. The PowerShell tab is always present, and the documentation metadata includes 'devx-track-azurepowershell', suggesting a Windows/PowerShell bias. There are no Linux-specific instructions or references to Linux-native tools or scripting, and no mention of Linux-specific considerations for DNS or network configuration.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit bash/shell script examples for Linux users alongside PowerShell, especially for scripting and automation tasks.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide any Linux-specific notes if needed (e.g., differences in environment variables, quoting, or file paths).
  • Include troubleshooting or configuration notes relevant to Linux VMs (e.g., how to update /etc/resolv.conf or use cloud-init for DNS settings).
  • Balance the prominence of PowerShell and CLI examples, and consider renaming tabs to 'Shell (Linux/macOS)' and 'PowerShell (Windows)' for clarity.
  • Review metadata and custom tags to ensure they do not signal a Windows/PowerShell preference unless justified.

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively deploying Windows Server 2019 virtual machines for testing, instructing users to use Remote Desktop and Internet Explorer (both Windows-specific tools), and omitting any Linux VM deployment or Linux-based testing workflow. While the deployment and validation steps use both Azure CLI and PowerShell (which are cross-platform), all VM interaction and firewall testing instructions assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
  • Include Linux virtual machine deployment in the Bicep template and documentation, or provide an alternative Linux-based workflow.
  • Add instructions for connecting to Linux VMs (e.g., using SSH) and testing firewall rules with Linux tools (such as curl or wget) instead of only using Remote Desktop and Internet Explorer.
  • Present both Windows and Linux examples side-by-side when describing how to test connectivity and firewall rules.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (like Internet Explorer) as the only method for testing, or provide Linux browser/command-line alternatives.
  • Clarify that the scenario can be tested with either Windows or Linux VMs, and provide guidance for both.

Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation exclusively uses the Azure Portal (GUI) for configuration steps and does not provide any command-line examples for either Windows (PowerShell) or Linux (CLI). However, the absence of Azure CLI (cross-platform, Linux-friendly) examples means Linux users do not have parity with Windows users who might be more accustomed to GUI or PowerShell workflows.
Recommendations:
  • Add Azure CLI examples for each configuration step to ensure Linux and cross-platform users can follow along without relying on the portal.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed using Azure CLI or ARM templates, and provide links or code snippets.
  • If PowerShell examples are added in the future, ensure Azure CLI equivalents are also provided and presented with equal prominence.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates subtle Windows bias by listing Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) before CLI in several places and referencing PowerShell explicitly as a supported deployment mechanism. There is no explicit Linux example or mention of Linux-specific tools, and the migration example only references the portal and Azure PowerShell, omitting CLI or Linux-native approaches.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure that Azure CLI is always mentioned alongside or before Azure PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • When referencing deployment mechanisms, clarify that both Azure CLI and PowerShell are supported, and provide parity in examples and migration paths.
  • Add explicit examples or references for Linux users, such as using Azure CLI for policy creation, management, and migration.
  • Avoid listing Windows tools (like PowerShell) before cross-platform tools (like CLI) to prevent the perception of Windows-first bias.
  • Consider including a table or section that highlights tool parity and usage across different operating systems.

Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Windows First
Summary:
The documentation page lists Azure PowerShell cmdlets prominently in a dedicated section, without providing equivalent Azure CLI or REST API examples or references. This creates a bias towards Windows/PowerShell users, as PowerShell is most commonly associated with Windows environments. While the text mentions that IP Groups can be managed via the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or REST API, only PowerShell commands are explicitly documented, and no Linux-friendly command-line examples are provided.
Recommendations:
  • Add a dedicated section listing equivalent Azure CLI commands for managing IP Groups, similar to the PowerShell cmdlets section.
  • Provide REST API example calls for creating, updating, and deleting IP Groups.
  • Ensure that CLI and REST API references are as detailed and prominent as the PowerShell section.
  • Where possible, present CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Powershell Heavy Windows First
Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for configuring Azure Firewall DNS settings, but the PowerShell examples are prominent and detailed, reflecting a bias toward Windows-centric tooling. There are no Linux-specific command-line examples (such as Bash scripts or Linux-native tools), and PowerShell is presented as an equal alternative to CLI, despite being primarily a Windows tool. The documentation does not mention or address Linux-specific considerations or workflows, and the ordering of examples sometimes places PowerShell before or at parity with CLI, which may not reflect the cross-platform user base.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples for all CLI commands, demonstrating usage in a typical Linux environment.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Windows, macOS, and Linux, while PowerShell is primarily for Windows users (unless using PowerShell Core).
  • Consider providing Linux-specific notes or troubleshooting tips, such as how to restart network services on Linux VMs after DNS changes.
  • Where possible, lead with CLI/Bash examples before PowerShell, as CLI is more universally accessible across platforms.
  • Include references or links to Linux administration documentation for related tasks (e.g., updating DNS settings on Linux VMs).
