Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a notable Windows bias: all VM creation examples use Windows Server images exclusively, and the only instructions for configuring the web server (IIS) use Windows-specific PowerShell commands. There are no Linux VM options, nor any guidance for deploying or configuring Linux-based web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx), nor are Bash or Linux command-line examples provided. This limits the tutorial's usefulness for Linux/macOS users and those deploying cross-platform solutions.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Windows VMs.
  • Provide Linux-specific web server installation steps (e.g., install Apache or Nginx using Bash/SSH commands).
  • Show how to use the Azure portal's Run Command feature for Bash scripts on Linux VMs.
  • Add screenshots and examples for Linux VM configuration and testing.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported in backend pools, and provide links to relevant documentation.
