Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All certificate creation and export steps use Windows PowerShell cmdlets (New-SelfSignedCertificate, Export-PfxCertificate), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The virtual machine creation steps exclusively use Windows Server, and IIS is installed for testing, again with only Windows-specific instructions. There are no examples or guidance for performing these tasks on Linux systems, nor are Linux tools or patterns mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux instructions for creating self-signed certificates (e.g., using openssl) and exporting to PFX format.
  • Include examples for deploying Linux-based backend VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and installing a web server such as Apache or Nginx for testing.
  • Add cross-platform Azure CLI or Bash examples alongside PowerShell commands, especially for certificate management and VM extension installation.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (openssl, systemd, etc.) where relevant, and ensure parity in step-by-step guidance for both operating systems.
  • Clearly indicate that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
