Summary
The documentation provides both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash/curl) examples for all core usage scenarios, including requests and responses. However, in several places, Windows/PowerShell examples are presented before Linux equivalents, and some troubleshooting and advanced scenarios (e.g., routing table checks, Azure CLI usage) use PowerShell syntax or Windows tools first, with Linux instructions following. There is a slight emphasis on Windows tools and PowerShell, but Linux parity is generally maintained.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples, or present them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Ensure troubleshooting steps and CLI examples are equally detailed for Linux (e.g., use Azure CLI and bash for interface and routing checks, not just PowerShell).
- Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., route print, ipconfig) are mentioned, ensure Linux equivalents (e.g., ip, netstat, ifconfig) are listed with equal prominence.
- Consider adding macOS-specific notes or examples where applicable, especially for curl/jq usage.
- Review the language in troubleshooting and FAQs to avoid assuming Windows as the default platform.
