Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout. All code examples use PowerShell, and instructions for creating certificates and installing IIS are exclusively Windows-centric. The virtual machine scale set is created with Windows Server 2016 Datacenter as the default OS, with no mention of Linux alternatives. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, such as using OpenSSL for certificates or deploying a Linux-based backend (e.g., NGINX/Apache). Windows tools and patterns are referenced exclusively, and Linux equivalents are missing.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux examples for key steps, such as creating self-signed certificates with OpenSSL and installing a web server (e.g., Apache or NGINX) on Linux VMSS instances.
  • Include instructions and screenshots for deploying a Linux-based VM scale set as the backend pool, alongside the Windows example.
  • Offer Bash/Azure CLI code snippets in addition to PowerShell, and clarify when steps differ between Windows and Linux environments.
  • Mention Linux-friendly file paths and certificate handling, and avoid assuming Windows file system conventions (e.g., c:\appgwcert.pfx).
  • Add a section or callout for Linux users, linking to relevant Azure documentation for Linux VM management and web server setup.
