Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Windows-based VM creation and validation steps (e.g., using Windows Server images and PowerShell for DNS testing), with no Linux VM or Bash-based examples. The portal and CLI instructions default to Windows Server, and the only shell commands for endpoint validation are in PowerShell. There are no instructions for creating or testing with a Linux VM, nor are there Bash or Linux-native DNS tools (like dig or nslookup in Bash) shown.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in both portal and CLI sections.
  • Provide examples for validating DNS and connectivity using Bash (e.g., using nslookup or dig in a Linux shell) inside the Linux VM.
  • When listing VM image options, mention Linux images alongside Windows images, or default to a cross-platform-neutral image.
  • Where PowerShell is used, also provide equivalent Bash/Linux commands.
  • Review the order of presentation to ensure Linux and Windows are given equal prominence, or group instructions by OS.
