Summary
The documentation consistently references IIS (a Windows web server) as the default backend for testing, without mentioning Linux alternatives (e.g., Apache, Nginx). All testing instructions assume IIS is present, which is only true for Windows VMs. There are no examples or guidance for deploying or testing with Linux-based backend pools, nor is there any mention of Linux-specific troubleshooting or validation steps. The order of presentation in portal instructions also reflects a Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Include explicit instructions or examples for deploying Linux VMs with common web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) in backend pools.
- When describing test steps, mention how to verify load balancer functionality with Linux-based web servers (e.g., expected default pages, troubleshooting tips).
- Provide links to Linux quickstarts or documentation alongside Windows/IIS references.
- Clarify that backend pools can contain either Windows or Linux VMs, and provide parity in example commands and screenshots.
- Avoid assuming IIS is the default; use more generic language or provide both Windows and Linux examples.
