Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows Server is used exclusively for test VMs in both spokes, with no Linux alternative provided; IIS (a Windows-only web server) is used for connectivity tests; all test and verification steps rely on Windows tools (Microsoft Edge, IIS); PowerShell is the only CLI scripting option shown, with no Bash/Azure CLI equivalents; and Windows VM creation and configuration steps are detailed before any mention of Linux options. While the NVA is simulated with Ubuntu, all user-facing test and validation steps are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux-based examples for spoke VMs, such as deploying Ubuntu or other Linux distributions.
  • Include instructions for installing and testing with Apache or Nginx on Linux VMs, alongside IIS on Windows.
  • Offer Azure CLI (Bash) scripting examples in addition to PowerShell for all resource creation and management steps.
  • Demonstrate connectivity and NAT gateway verification using Linux tools (e.g., curl, wget, or browser access from Linux desktop environments).
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux test VM options are presented equally, and avoid defaulting to Windows-only tools for verification steps.
  • Add notes or sections explaining how to adapt the tutorial for Linux-only environments.
