Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias: all CLI examples use Azure PowerShell, and the only OS-specific VM validation instructions are for Windows. There are no Linux/macOS CLI or VM examples, and the validation steps reference Windows tools and guides exclusively. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who must adapt instructions or seek external resources.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all PowerShell examples, as Azure CLI is cross-platform.
  • Include instructions for creating and validating with a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows VM example.
  • Show DNS validation using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., nslookup, dig) and terminal commands.
  • Reference both Windows and Linux quickstart guides for VM creation.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS, and note any differences.
