Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The virtual machine creation example exclusively uses Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, and the backend verification is performed using IIS (a Windows-only web server). The instructions for installing IIS rely on Azure PowerShell and Windows-specific commands, with no mention of Linux VM creation or using Linux-native web servers (such as Apache or Nginx). All code examples for backend setup use PowerShell, and there is no parity for Linux users or Bash/CLI alternatives in the main flow.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend servers.
  • Include examples for installing and testing with Linux-native web servers (such as Apache or Nginx), using Bash or Azure CLI commands.
  • Offer both PowerShell and Bash/CLI scripts for backend setup and verification steps.
  • Explicitly mention that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux VMs in backend pools.
  • Reorder or balance examples so that Linux and Windows options are presented with equal prominence.
