Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All virtual machine creation examples use Windows Server, and IIS installation is performed exclusively via Azure PowerShell and Windows-specific commands. The hosts file editing instructions are tailored for Windows, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents. Windows command-line tools (ipconfig) are used for DNS cache management, and screenshots and file paths are Windows-centric. There are no examples or instructions for Linux VM creation, Apache/Nginx setup, or Linux/macOS hosts file editing.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) and installing a web server such as Apache or Nginx.
  • Provide Linux/macOS commands for editing the hosts file (e.g., /etc/hosts) and for flushing DNS cache (e.g., 'sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches' or 'sudo dscacheutil -flushcache').
  • Show examples using Bash or Azure CLI, not just PowerShell.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting cross-platform differences and considerations.
  • Present Windows and Linux/macOS instructions side-by-side or in separate tabs for clarity.
