Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All certificate creation and export steps use Windows PowerShell cmdlets (New-SelfSignedCertificate, Export-PfxCertificate), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The VM creation steps exclusively use Windows Server images, and IIS installation is performed via PowerShell. There are no examples or instructions for Linux users (e.g., using OpenSSL for certificates, deploying Linux VMs, or installing Apache/Nginx). Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and first, with no Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux users, such as using OpenSSL to create and export self-signed certificates.
  • Include examples for deploying Linux-based backend VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and installing a web server like Apache or Nginx.
  • Offer cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., file paths, certificate management) where relevant.
  • Clearly indicate that both Windows and Linux backend servers are supported, and provide parity in documentation steps.
