Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias in several ways: the only VM images used are Windows (win2019datacenter), and the only example for installing a web server uses Windows-specific PowerShell commands to install IIS. There are no examples for deploying Linux VMs or installing a Linux web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx). The VM creation and extension setup steps are exclusively tailored to Windows, with no mention of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for Linux VMs (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside Windows examples.
  • Include instructions and az vm extension set commands for installing a web server on Linux VMs (e.g., using CustomScriptExtension to install Apache or Nginx).
  • Explicitly mention both Windows and Linux options when creating VMs and configuring backend servers.
  • Ensure that testing instructions (e.g., browsing to the public IP) clarify expected results for both Windows (IIS) and Linux (Apache/Nginx) scenarios.
