Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias, primarily through exclusive use of Azure PowerShell and Windows Server examples. All command-line instructions are given in PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, CLI, or Linux/macOS alternatives. The VM creation walkthrough uses Windows Server 2019 only, and IIS (a Windows web server) is used for backend testing, with no Linux VM or Apache/Nginx example provided. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users and those preferring Bash or Azure CLI.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI (bash) equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for preview registration and VM extension installation.
- Include Linux VM creation steps alongside Windows, e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS, and show how to install Apache or Nginx for backend testing.
- When demonstrating backend pool configuration, mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported and provide examples for each.
- Add notes or sections clarifying how Linux/macOS users can perform each step, including using Azure Cloud Shell with Bash.
- Avoid using only Windows tools (IIS, PowerShell) for verification; offer cross-platform alternatives.
