Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft IIS Servers as backend VMs, omitting any mention of Linux-based alternatives (such as Apache or Nginx). All backend pool examples and screenshots focus on IIS and Windows-centric tools. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or validation steps, and the only server OS referenced is Windows. This may give the impression that only Windows workloads are supported or recommended.
Recommendations:
- Include examples using Linux-based web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) as backend pool members alongside IIS.
- Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported as backend pool members in Azure VMware Solution.
- Provide screenshots or command-line examples (e.g., using curl or wget) for verifying endpoints from Linux hosts, not just browser-based validation.
- Mention Linux administration tools or validation steps (such as using SSH to connect to Linux VMs) where appropriate.
- Balance references to Windows and Linux in both prerequisites and step-by-step instructions to ensure parity and inclusivity.
