Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Windows Server as the example operating system for the workload VM, and all testing instructions assume Windows tools (Remote Desktop, Internet Explorer). There are no Linux VM deployment steps, nor guidance for connecting to or testing with Linux-based systems. This creates friction for users who prefer or require Linux workloads.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for deploying a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in the workload subnet, including appropriate Azure Marketplace image selection.
  • Provide Linux-specific connection guidance (e.g., SSH via DNAT, using an RDP client for Linux if needed, or using xrdp on the Linux VM).
  • Include testing steps using common Linux browsers (e.g., Firefox, Chromium) and command-line tools (e.g., curl, dig) to verify firewall rules.
  • Explicitly mention that the firewall and policy configuration applies equally to Linux VMs, and clarify any OS-specific considerations.
  • Where possible, show both Windows and Linux examples side-by-side for key steps.
