Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Internet Information Services (IIS) as the default web server on deployed VMs, without mentioning or providing examples for Linux-based alternatives (e.g., Apache, Nginx). The deployment instructions and examples are platform-neutral (Azure CLI and PowerShell), but the validation and screenshots exclusively show IIS, implying Windows VMs are used. There are no Linux VM deployment or verification steps, nor is there mention of Linux tools or web servers.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and screenshots for Linux-based VMs using popular web servers such as Apache or Nginx.
  • Explicitly mention that the Bicep template can be used to deploy either Windows or Linux VMs, and provide instructions for both.
  • Show how to verify load balancer functionality on Linux VMs (e.g., using curl, Apache default page, etc.).
  • Balance references to Windows tools (IIS) with equivalent Linux tools and patterns.
  • Add a note or section on customizing the Bicep file for Linux VM deployment.
