Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its use of IIS as the default backend web server in all test scenarios, which is Windows-specific. There are no Linux-based backend examples (e.g., Apache, Nginx), nor instructions for Linux VM setup or testing. The test and validation steps exclusively reference IIS and do not mention Linux alternatives. Additionally, the portal walkthrough and screenshots implicitly assume a Windows-centric deployment, and the PowerShell instructions (a Windows-preferred tool) are presented with equal prominence to Azure CLI, but Linux-specific nuances are not addressed.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux backend pool examples, such as deploying Ubuntu VMs with Apache or Nginx, and provide links to relevant quickstarts.
- In the 'Test the load balancer' section, include instructions for verifying load balancing with a Linux web server (e.g., using curl or a browser to access an Apache/Nginx default page).
- Mention Linux VM creation and configuration steps alongside Windows/IIS, or provide links to Linux-specific quickstarts.
- Clarify that Azure CLI works cross-platform and highlight any Linux-specific considerations (e.g., shell syntax differences, package installation).
- Include screenshots or terminal outputs showing Linux web server responses to demonstrate parity.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, note that it is available on Linux, but also suggest Bash as an alternative for scripting on Linux.
