Summary
The documentation page exhibits a clear Windows bias. Virtual machine creation is demonstrated exclusively with Windows Server, and all backend configuration and testing instructions (IIS installation, hosts file editing, DNS commands) use Windows-specific tools and paths. PowerShell is the only scripting environment referenced for VM extension management. There are no Linux VM examples, nor are Linux equivalents (such as Apache/Nginx setup, /etc/hosts editing, or Bash commands) provided or mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu), including steps for installing a web server such as Apache or Nginx.
  • Include Linux-specific commands for editing /etc/hosts and managing DNS cache (e.g., 'sudo nano /etc/hosts', 'sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches').
  • Offer Bash/Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for VM extension management and other automation tasks.
  • Clarify that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backends, and show how to configure each.
  • Add screenshots or code snippets demonstrating Linux workflows where appropriate.
