Summary
The tutorial exclusively demonstrates BGP peering using a Windows Server-based network virtual appliance (NVA), with all configuration steps, examples, and scripts tailored to Windows (PowerShell, RRAS, Windows features). There is no mention of Linux-based NVAs, nor are there any Linux CLI or configuration examples. This creates friction for users who wish to use Linux appliances, which are common in networking scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel section showing how to deploy and configure a Linux-based NVA (e.g., Ubuntu VM with FRRouting or Quagga) for BGP peering.
- Provide Linux CLI commands and configuration file examples for BGP setup and peering.
- Clarify in the introduction that the tutorial uses Windows Server as an example, but Linux NVAs are also supported and link to relevant documentation.
- Include notes or links to Azure Marketplace NVAs (many of which are Linux-based) and how to configure BGP on them.
- Show how to verify learned routes using Azure CLI (az network route-server), not just PowerShell.
