Summary
This documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the testing and validation sections. While the simulated NVA is an Ubuntu VM and its configuration uses Linux commands, all test VMs in the spokes are Windows Server 2022, and all testing instructions (e.g., verifying NAT gateway and inter-spoke routing) rely on Microsoft Edge and Windows-specific workflows. There are no Linux VM test examples, nor instructions for using Linux tools (e.g., curl, wget, or browser alternatives) to validate connectivity. The PowerShell examples are extensive, with no Bash/CLI equivalents provided. This creates friction for users who prefer or require Linux-based validation and automation.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel Linux VM deployment instructions for spoke test VMs, including Ubuntu or other common distributions.
  • Provide Linux CLI commands (e.g., curl, wget) for testing outbound NAT and inter-spoke connectivity, alongside Windows/Edge examples.
  • Include Azure CLI (az) or Bash script examples in addition to PowerShell for resource creation and management.
  • Explicitly mention that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used for testing, and provide guidance for both.
  • Ensure that validation steps (e.g., checking public IP, web server access) are shown for both OS types.
