Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell, including certificate creation and IIS installation. The virtual machine scale set is configured with Windows Server 2016 Datacenter as the default OS, and only Windows-based tools and workflows (such as New-SelfSignedCertificate, Export-PfxCertificate, and IIS) are mentioned. There are no Linux equivalents or examples provided for certificate creation, backend server setup, or web server installation.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux examples for all command-line operations, such as using OpenSSL for certificate creation and exporting.
  • Include instructions for deploying a Linux-based VM scale set (e.g., Ubuntu) and installing a web server like Apache or Nginx.
  • Offer Bash/Azure CLI commands alongside PowerShell examples to ensure cross-platform accessibility.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., using /home/azureuser/appgwcert.pfx instead of c:\appgwcert.pfx) and provide parity in file paths and OS-specific steps.
  • Clarify that both Windows and Linux backend pools are supported, and link to relevant documentation for Linux scenarios.
