Summary
The documentation demonstrates a bias towards Windows in several areas. While the simulated NVA is based on Ubuntu and its configuration is shown, all test virtual machines in the spokes are Windows Server 2022, and all testing instructions use Windows tools (Microsoft Edge, IIS). There are no examples or instructions for deploying or testing with Linux VMs in the spokes, nor for using Linux-native tools for verification. Additionally, PowerShell is the only CLI scripting language provided, with no Bash/Azure CLI equivalents, and Windows-centric patterns (IIS, Edge) are used for validation throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for deploying Linux VMs in the spokes, including instructions for installing and testing with Apache or Nginx.
  • Include Azure CLI (Bash) examples alongside PowerShell for all resource creation and configuration steps.
  • Offer Linux-native testing instructions, such as using curl or wget to verify outbound NAT and inter-spoke connectivity.
  • Demonstrate how to install and test web servers on Linux VMs (e.g., Apache, Nginx), and how to verify connectivity using Linux tools.
  • Explicitly mention that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used for testing, and provide guidance for both platforms.
  • Avoid using only Windows-specific tools (e.g., Microsoft Edge, IIS) for validation; include Linux alternatives.
