Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples for registering/unregistering the preview and installing backend software use Azure PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Add-WindowsFeature for IIS). The virtual machine creation steps exclusively use Windows Server as the example OS, with no mention of Linux alternatives or equivalent commands for Bash/CLI. There are no Linux VM setup instructions, nor examples for installing a web server on Linux. Windows tools and patterns are presented exclusively and before any Linux equivalents, which are entirely absent.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for registering/unregistering the preview, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Include Linux VM creation steps in the backend pool section, such as creating Ubuntu or other Linux VMs.
  • Add instructions for installing a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) on Linux VMs, using Bash scripts or Azure VM extensions.
  • Show how to add Linux VMs to the backend pool, and demonstrate testing the application gateway with Linux-based backends.
  • Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs are OS-neutral or include both Windows and Linux variants.
  • Explicitly mention that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and provide parity in documentation examples.
