Summary
The tutorial consistently uses Windows-centric examples and instructions, such as creating Windows Server VMs, using PowerShell for VM extension and IIS installation, and referencing RDP and Windows tools. There are no Linux VM creation steps, nor are there Bash or Linux command alternatives for key operations. The documentation assumes the user is working in a Windows environment, which creates friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux-based VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) in addition to Windows Server.
  • Include Bash/Azure CLI examples for VM extension installation and configuration, not just PowerShell.
  • Demonstrate how to install and test a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) on a Linux VM.
  • Reference SSH for remote access to Linux VMs, alongside RDP for Windows VMs.
  • Clearly indicate which steps are OS-specific and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Avoid assuming Cloud Shell is set to PowerShell; show how to use Bash as well.
