Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft IIS Servers as backend pool members, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives (e.g., Apache, Nginx). All examples and screenshots focus on Windows-centric tools and environments (IIS, vSphere, NSX), and there are no instructions or examples for deploying or verifying Linux web servers. This may lead Linux users to feel unsupported or unclear about how to adapt the guidance for their environments.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and screenshots showing Linux-based web servers (such as Apache or Nginx) as backend pool members.
  • Explicitly mention that backend pool members can be running on Linux VMs, and provide configuration steps for popular Linux web servers.
  • Add verification steps for Linux VMs, such as using SSH or Linux command-line tools to confirm connectivity and configuration.
  • Clarify that the Traffic Manager and Application Gateway integration is platform-agnostic, and provide parity in instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
