Summary
The documentation demonstrates a bias toward Windows by using Windows Server virtual machines for all test scenarios, providing only Windows-specific tools (e.g., Microsoft Edge, IIS, PowerShell) for verification and configuration, and omitting equivalent Linux-based examples for test VMs and web servers. The PowerShell examples are extensive, while Linux CLI or Bash alternatives are not provided for resource creation or configuration. The workflow for testing NAT gateway and inter-spoke routing is exclusively Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux VM test scenarios (e.g., Ubuntu or other Linux distributions) in the spokes, with instructions for deploying, configuring, and testing using Linux tools (e.g., curl, wget, Apache/Nginx web server).
  • Provide Bash/Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for all resource creation and configuration steps.
  • Include instructions for testing outbound NAT and inter-spoke routing from Linux VMs, such as using curl to check public IP (e.g., curl ifconfig.me) and accessing web servers.
  • Mention Linux tools and browsers (e.g., Firefox, Chromium) for verification steps, not just Microsoft Edge.
  • Ensure parity in portal instructions by referencing both Windows and Linux VM images and configuration options.
  • Add cleanup instructions for Linux-based resources if any are created.
