Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in its configuration examples. All backend VM setup instructions use Windows Server 2016 and PowerShell commands to install and configure IIS. There are no examples or instructions for deploying Linux-based web servers (such as Apache or Nginx) or for using Linux command-line tools. The examples and screenshots consistently reference Windows environments, with no mention of Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel examples for Linux-based web servers (e.g., Ubuntu with Apache or Nginx), showing equivalent setup steps and commands.
  • Provide Linux shell commands (such as apt, yum, systemctl) for installing and configuring web servers.
  • Mention that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend VMs, and clarify any differences in configuration if applicable.
  • Add screenshots or references to Linux VM management interfaces (such as SSH, cloud-init, etc.) where relevant.
  • Ensure that the documentation does not imply Windows is required for backend pools, and highlight cross-platform compatibility.
