Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in the backend VM creation and configuration steps. Only Windows Server images are used for the virtual machines, and the instructions for installing a web server (IIS) rely exclusively on PowerShell commands via the CustomScriptExtension. There are no examples or guidance for deploying Linux VMs or installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on Linux. This creates friction for users who prefer or require Linux-based workloads.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for creating Linux VMs (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside the Windows examples.
  • Include instructions for installing a web server on Linux VMs, such as using the CustomScriptExtension to run bash commands for installing Apache or Nginx.
  • Clearly indicate that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported and provide links to relevant documentation for each OS.
  • When showing code blocks for VM creation and configuration, alternate or combine Windows and Linux examples, or use tabs to allow users to select their preferred OS.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default scripting language for VM configuration; show bash alternatives where applicable.
