Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All virtual machine creation examples use Windows images (win2022datacenter, Win2019Datacenter) exclusively, with no mention or example of Linux images. The IIS installation step uses PowerShell commands and Windows-specific tooling, with no Linux alternative (such as Apache or Nginx). The test instructions reference Internet Explorer, a Windows-only browser, and do not provide guidance for Linux-based testing. There are no examples or instructions for deploying Linux VMs or configuring equivalent Linux web servers.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for creating Linux-based virtual machines (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images).
  • Include instructions for installing and configuring a web server on Linux VMs (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using appropriate shell commands.
  • Show how to test the load balancer from a Linux VM, including browser or command-line (curl/wget) options.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (such as Internet Explorer) and offer cross-platform alternatives.
  • When presenting VM creation commands, list both Windows and Linux options, or make Linux the default unless Windows-specific features are required.
  • Explicitly state that the Azure CLI and load balancer setup is OS-agnostic, and highlight any differences in VM configuration between platforms.
