Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a notable Windows bias: all virtual machine creation steps use Windows Server images, and the only example for installing IIS uses PowerShell and Windows-specific tooling. There are no instructions or examples for deploying Linux VMs or configuring equivalent Linux services (e.g., Apache/Nginx), nor are there Bash or CLI alternatives to the PowerShell commands. Windows terminology and tools are used exclusively throughout the tutorial, making it less accessible for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for deploying Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) in both the spoke and on-premises networks.
  • Include examples for installing and configuring a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) on Linux VMs using Bash/CLI.
  • Offer Azure CLI or Bash alternatives for VM extension installation and other configuration steps.
  • Explicitly mention that Linux/macOS users can use the Azure portal and Azure CLI for all steps, and link to relevant documentation.
  • Reorder examples so that Linux and Windows options are presented equally, or at least not always Windows-first.
