Summary
The documentation provides configuration examples for several origin types, but the IIS example is Windows-specific and uses IIS configuration (XML), with no equivalent example for popular Linux web servers such as Apache or Nginx. The IIS example appears before the AKS NGINX controller example, and there is no mention of Linux tools or patterns for non-containerized Linux workloads. There are no shell or configuration examples for Linux-based VMs or web servers outside Kubernetes/NGINX. This demonstrates a Windows-first approach and a lack of Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Add configuration examples for common Linux web servers such as Apache (httpd) and Nginx (standalone, not just AKS ingress), showing how to filter requests based on the X-Azure-FDID header.
- Provide shell (bash) or configuration snippets for Linux VMs, such as using iptables or firewalld for IP filtering.
- Ensure Linux examples appear alongside or before Windows/IIS examples to avoid Windows-first ordering.
- Mention Linux-native tools and approaches (e.g., mod_security for Apache, Nginx configuration blocks) for header validation and access control.
- Clarify that the guidance applies to both Windows and Linux origins, and link to platform-specific documentation where appropriate.
