Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for configuring an outbound-only load balancer in Azure, but all virtual machine creation and testing examples use Windows Server as the OS. There are no Linux VM examples, nor instructions for Linux-specific connectivity testing (e.g., using curl or a Linux browser). The documentation implicitly assumes Windows by specifying Windows Server 2022 and Microsoft Edge for browser-based connectivity tests, without mentioning Linux alternatives or providing parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Include parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in the 'Create virtual machine' section, with appropriate settings for SSH authentication.
- Provide Linux-specific connectivity test steps, such as using curl or Firefox/Chromium to verify outbound connectivity.
- Mention that the process is OS-agnostic and provide notes or links for Linux/macOS users where steps differ (e.g., connecting via Bastion with SSH instead of RDP).
- Add screenshots or CLI/portal steps showing Linux VM configuration and connectivity testing.
- Clarify that the load balancer configuration applies to both Windows and Linux VMs.
