Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias in the virtual machine creation and configuration steps. Only Windows Server images are used for backend VMs, and the IIS installation relies exclusively on PowerShell commands. No Linux VM examples or Linux web server installation instructions are provided, which may hinder Linux/macOS users from following the quickstart without significant adaptation.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel examples for creating Linux VMs (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside Windows examples.
  • Provide instructions for installing a web server on Linux VMs (e.g., using apt/yum to install nginx or Apache) and updating the default web page.
  • Explicitly mention that the steps can be adapted for Linux, and link to relevant documentation for Linux VM setup.
  • When showing code blocks for VM creation and configuration, alternate or combine Windows and Linux examples to ensure parity.
  • Clarify that the 'commandToExecute' in CustomScriptExtension can run bash scripts for Linux VMs.
