Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively deploying IIS (Internet Information Server) on Windows Server virtual machines, with no mention or example of Linux-based alternatives (e.g., Apache, Nginx). The verification step references the default IIS Windows Server web page, and there are no instructions or screenshots for Linux VM deployments. Windows terminology and tools (IIS, Windows Server) are used throughout, while Linux equivalents are absent.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for deploying Linux-based web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) in the ARM template and walkthrough.
  • Include screenshots and verification steps for accessing a default Linux web server page.
  • Mention Linux VM options in the template review and deployment steps.
  • Clarify that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported, and link to relevant documentation for Linux deployments.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., IIS) as the sole example; present both Windows and Linux options equally.
