Test-NetConnection Missing from Azure CloudShell in PowerShell

[sleypy]

I was attempting to troubleshoot connectivity to a mysql database using Test-NetConnection. When I run the command from PowerShell using Azure CloudShell I get: test-netconnection: The term 'test-netconnection' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet. All the documentation I can find suggest that the nettcpip module should be installed.

Note: Test-Connection is there and I was able to use that instead.

Hi Jonn H Perry (@sleypy), it doesn't appear that nettcpip is installed on Cloud Shell. It seems preinstalled on Windows PowerShell, but Cloud Shell runs Linux. From PowerShell/PowerShell#11111, it does not seem like they will support nettcpip on Linux. They recommend Test-Connection.
