Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias, especially in the VM creation and configuration steps. Only Windows Server is used as the VM image, and all instructions for installing and configuring IIS use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Windows Administrative Tools). There are no Linux VM examples, nor instructions for setting up a web server on Linux. The use of PowerShell and IIS is exclusive, with no mention of Linux alternatives such as SSH, Bash, or Apache/Nginx.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) in the 'Create virtual machines' section.
  • Provide Linux-specific steps for installing a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using Bash/SSH.
  • Include command examples for Linux (e.g., apt install apache2, echo 'Hello World' > /var/www/html/index.html).
  • Present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or allow the user to select their OS preference at the start of the tutorial.
  • Avoid assuming Windows as the default platform; mention Linux as a supported and common alternative.
