Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows. It exclusively demonstrates BGP peering using a Windows Server VM as the network virtual appliance (NVA), with no mention or example of Linux-based NVAs. All configuration steps, including BGP setup, use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Windows Features, RRAS), and only Windows Server images are referenced. There is no guidance for Linux users or parity in examples, making the tutorial inaccessible for those using Linux-based appliances.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel section showing how to deploy and configure a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) as an NVA.
- Provide Linux-based BGP configuration steps using common tools such as FRRouting (FRR), Quagga, or Bird.
- Include CLI commands for Linux (e.g., bash, systemctl) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Mention supported Linux appliances from the Azure Marketplace and link to their documentation.
- Ensure that verification steps (e.g., route checks) include Linux equivalents, such as using 'vtysh' or 'ip route'.
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux NVAs are supported and provide guidance for choosing between them.
