Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. The virtual machine creation example exclusively uses Windows Server as the image, and the IIS installation instructions rely solely on PowerShell commands. There are no Linux VM examples, nor are there equivalent instructions for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on Linux. The use of PowerShell in Azure Cloud Shell is assumed, with no mention of Bash or Linux alternatives. This creates friction for users who prefer or require Linux-based backend servers.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend servers.
  • Include examples for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on Linux VMs, using Bash commands.
  • Show how to use Azure CLI or Bash in Cloud Shell for Linux-based deployments.
  • Present both Windows and Linux options for backend pool configuration, ideally side-by-side.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default shell; mention that Bash is available and provide equivalent commands.
