Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a notable Windows bias: all virtual machine examples use Windows Server, IIS installation is shown only via PowerShell, and there are no Linux VM or shell examples. Windows tools and patterns (RDP, PowerShell, Windows Server Marketplace images) are used exclusively or presented first, with no mention of Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for deploying a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in the spoke and on-premises networks.
  • Provide Linux-specific commands for installing a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using Bash/Cloud Shell.
  • Include SSH connection instructions for Linux VMs, alongside RDP for Windows.
  • Show how to test firewall rules using Linux tools (e.g., curl, ssh) in addition to Windows tools.
  • Ensure all PowerShell examples have Bash/Azure CLI equivalents.
  • Present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, rather than Windows-only or Windows-first.
