Azure documentation issue guidance

Thanks for opening an issue in the Azure technical documentation repository.

We use GitHub issues as the primary channel for customer and community feedback about the Azure documentation.

Creating an issue

We prefer that you create documentation feedback issues using the Feedback link on the published article - the feedback control on the doc page creates an issue that contains all the article details so you can focus on the feedback part.

You can also create a feedback issue here in the repo. If you do this, please make sure your issue lists:

• [ ] The relevant Azure service or technology.
• [ ] A link to the published documentation article that you have feedback about.
• [ ] Clear, specific feedback that the author can act on.

Pull requests and article contributions

If you know the change that is needed in an article, we encourage you to submit the changes directly using a pull request. If the change is large, or if you want to contribute an entire article, follow these guidelines:

• [ ] Don't surprise us with a big pull request or a pull request with a new article! Submit an issue that describes the details of the proposed large change or new article.
• [ ] Include the service or technology area.

We'll route the issue to the appropriate content team for review and discussion.

Tech support and product feedback

If you would like to contact Microsoft about other things, such as product feedback or tech support, please review these guidelines:

• If you need technical support using Azure, the paid and free support options are described here: https://azure.microsoft.com/support/options/.

• Each article in the Azure technical documentation contains a product feedback button - it's best to submit product feedback directly from a relevant article. Otherwise, you can submit product feedback for most Azure products in the following product feedback forum: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/34192--general-feedback.

Hello @lmurthy-git, Can you share the Azure document link / URL that you are referring to ?

This azure-docs repository deals about feedback related to particular Azure document page (like correcting doc bugs, doc enhancements, product issues related to wrong doc instructions if any, etc.) so that's the reason for asking related Azure document link / URL to get more context of this issue if it's intended to update / correct / enhance anything in the referred Azure document.

Hello,

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/azure-expressroute

Azure ExpressRoute for Office 365

• 06/05/2019
• 5 minutes to read This article applies to both Office 365 Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Enterprise. Learn how Azure ExpressRoute is used with Office 365 and how to plan the network implementation project that will be required if you are deploying Azure ExpressRoute for use with Office 365. Infrastructure and platform services running in Azure will often benefit by addressing network architecture and performance considerations. We recommend ExpressRoute for Azure in these cases. Software as a Service offerings like Office 365 and Dynamics 365 have been built to be accessed securely and reliably via the Internet. You can read about Internet performance and security and when you might consider Azure ExpressRoute for Office 365 in the article Assessing Office 365 network connectivityhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/assessing-network-connectivity. But the link Assessing Office 365 network connectivityhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/assessing-network-connectivity does not talk about what the security benefits are of using ER for O365. The two links provide - General MS recommendation is don’t use ER for O365, use if required for regulation. Performance recommendations are provided for Internet, but the details of the security benefits of ER are NOT mentioned. Would be great if they are clarified.

Thanks -Lavanya
