Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the backend VM creation and configuration steps. Only Windows Server is suggested for backend VMs, and IIS installation is shown exclusively via Azure PowerShell using Windows-specific commands. There are no Linux VM examples, nor is there guidance for deploying a Linux web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx) or using Bash/CLI for configuration. The use of PowerShell and Windows tools is presented as the default, with no parity for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend servers.
  • Provide examples for installing a web server on Linux (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using Azure CLI or Bash scripts.
  • Show how to use Azure CLI or Bash in Cloud Shell for VM extension installation and configuration.
  • Explicitly mention that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend pools.
  • Alternate or parallelize example order so Linux and Windows are equally represented.
