Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric tools and patterns, such as IIS web server for backend pool testing and PowerShell for scripting. There are no explicit Linux examples for backend pool configuration or testing (e.g., Apache/Nginx), and instructions for stopping VMs and verifying load balancer failover are described in terms of IIS and Windows workflows. The documentation mentions Azure PowerShell and Windows-based resource group names before or alongside CLI, but does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of backend configuration or testing.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-based backend pool examples, such as deploying Apache or Nginx web servers on Linux VMs, and provide screenshots or expected output for those scenarios.
  • Add instructions for stopping Linux VMs (e.g., using SSH and systemctl or service commands) and verifying failover with Linux-based web servers.
  • Reference both Windows and Linux tools equally in prerequisites and testing sections, ensuring that Linux users have clear, step-by-step guidance.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide shell-agnostic command examples (e.g., bash, zsh) where appropriate.
  • Avoid assuming IIS as the default backend and mention alternatives for Linux environments.
