Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a notable Windows bias: all virtual machine creation steps use Windows Server images, and all configuration and testing instructions (such as installing IIS and remote desktop access) are Windows-centric. The only scripting example is a PowerShell command, with no Bash or Linux CLI alternatives. There are no instructions for deploying or testing with Linux VMs, nor for using SSH or Linux-native tools. This creates friction for users who prefer or require Linux-based environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux-based VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) in both the spoke and on-premises networks.
  • Include examples for installing and testing a web server on Linux (e.g., using Bash in Cloud Shell to install Apache or Nginx).
  • Offer Linux CLI equivalents for configuration steps, such as using Azure CLI (az) commands instead of PowerShell.
  • Demonstrate firewall rule testing using SSH and curl from Linux VMs, not just RDP and browser from Windows.
  • Explicitly mention that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used, and clarify any OS-specific requirements.
