Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows and PowerShell. All code examples for certificate creation and IIS installation use PowerShell and Windows-specific tools, with no mention of Linux equivalents or alternatives. The VM scale set instructions default to Windows Server, and there are no steps for deploying or configuring Linux-based backend servers or using Bash/Azure CLI. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users and may prevent them from completing the tutorial as written.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-based examples for creating self-signed certificates (e.g., using OpenSSL) and exporting PFX files.
  • Include instructions for deploying a Linux VM scale set (e.g., Ubuntu) and installing a web server (Apache/Nginx) using Bash or Azure CLI.
  • Offer Azure CLI and Bash alternatives for all PowerShell commands.
  • Clearly indicate OS-specific steps and provide parity for both Windows and Linux users.
  • Add notes or links to relevant Linux documentation where appropriate.
