Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a bias toward Windows in several areas. While the simulated NVA uses Ubuntu and includes Linux configuration steps, all test virtual machines in the spokes are Windows Server, and all functional validation (IIS install, web server, browser testing) is shown only for Windows. There are no equivalent Linux VM examples or instructions for deploying, configuring, or testing with Linux in the spokes. Additionally, all scripting and automation examples are provided in PowerShell, with no Bash/Azure CLI alternatives, and Windows tools (IIS, Microsoft Edge) are used exclusively for validation steps.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux VM deployment instructions for spoke test VMs, including Ubuntu or other supported distributions.
  • Provide Linux-based web server setup steps (e.g., Apache or Nginx) for spoke VMs, alongside IIS instructions.
  • Include validation steps using Linux tools (e.g., curl, wget, Firefox) to test outbound NAT and inter-spoke routing.
  • Offer Bash/Azure CLI examples in addition to PowerShell for resource creation and configuration.
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux options are presented in parallel throughout the tutorial, especially in sections where only Windows is currently shown.
