Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias: virtual machine creation uses Windows Server exclusively, IIS installation is shown only via Azure PowerShell and Windows-specific commands, and hosts file editing instructions are tailored for Windows (with DOS commands and Windows file paths). There are no Linux VM examples, nor instructions for installing a web server or editing hosts files on Linux systems.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) and installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) using Bash or Azure CLI.
  • Include Linux-specific steps for editing the /etc/hosts file and flushing DNS (e.g., using 'sudo nano /etc/hosts' and 'sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches').
  • Offer Azure CLI or Bash alternatives to PowerShell commands for VM extension installation.
  • Clarify that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and show examples for both.
  • When presenting host file editing, mention both Windows and Linux locations and commands, and avoid using only Windows-centric examples.
