Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the backend VM creation and configuration steps. Only Windows Server is suggested for backend VMs, and IIS installation is shown exclusively via Azure PowerShell using Windows-specific commands. There are no examples or guidance for deploying Linux VMs or configuring a Linux-based web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx). The only automation example uses PowerShell, with no Bash or Linux CLI alternatives. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users and implies a preference for Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend servers.
  • Provide examples for installing a web server on Linux VMs (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using Bash scripts or Azure CLI.
  • Offer both PowerShell and Bash/CLI commands for VM extension installation and configuration.
  • Explicitly state that backend pools can use Linux VMs and provide sample configurations.
  • Reorder examples or alternate between Windows and Linux to avoid Windows-first presentation.
