Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It exclusively uses Windows Server virtual machines for backend examples, provides only PowerShell commands for configuration (specifically for installing IIS), and refers to Windows-specific tools and file paths (such as editing the hosts file at c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and using DOS commands like ipconfig). There are no Linux VM examples, nor are there instructions for installing a web server or editing hosts files on Linux systems. The documentation assumes the reader is using Windows throughout, both for backend servers and for local machine operations.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for deploying Linux-based backend VMs (e.g., Ubuntu), including steps for installing Apache or Nginx.
  • Provide Linux shell commands (bash) for installing web servers and editing the /etc/hosts file.
  • Show both Windows and Linux examples for host file editing and DNS cache flushing (e.g., using systemd-resolve or service networking restart).
  • Offer Azure CLI or Bash Cloud Shell alternatives to PowerShell commands.
  • Clarify that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and demonstrate both in the tutorial.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific screenshots and file paths exclusively; include Linux equivalents where appropriate.
