Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively creating Windows Server VMs (win2019datacenter) and providing only Windows-specific configuration examples, such as installing IIS via PowerShell commands. There are no Linux VM creation examples, nor instructions for deploying or configuring Linux-based web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx). The VM extension script is written for Windows and PowerShell, with no Linux equivalent. This prioritizes Windows usage and omits Linux parity in the quickstart.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel examples for creating Linux VMs (e.g., using --image UbuntuLTS) alongside Windows examples.
  • Provide instructions and scripts for installing a web server on Linux VMs (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using Bash or cloud-init.
  • Show how to test the load balancer with Linux VMs, including relevant commands and expected output.
  • Clearly indicate that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported and provide guidance for each.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default scripting language; offer Bash alternatives where appropriate.
