Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All virtual machine creation examples use Windows Server images, and the only provided method for installing IIS on the VM uses PowerShell via Azure Cloud Shell. There are no Linux VM examples, nor instructions for deploying or configuring Linux workloads. The documentation assumes RDP (Windows remote desktop) for connectivity and does not mention SSH or Linux equivalents. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, RDP, Windows Server) are referenced exclusively and/or before any Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating Linux-based virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in both spoke and on-premises roles.
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for installing a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using Bash or cloud-init scripts.
  • Add SSH connectivity instructions for Linux VMs, alongside RDP for Windows.
  • Show how to use Azure CLI (cross-platform) for deployment steps, not just PowerShell.
  • Mention Linux firewall and networking considerations where relevant.
