Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for configuring an outbound-only load balancer in Azure, but all virtual machine creation and connectivity testing examples use Windows Server as the VM image and Microsoft Edge as the browser. There are no Linux VM creation examples, nor are there instructions for testing connectivity from a Linux VM (e.g., using curl or a Linux browser). This creates a bias toward Windows, making it less clear for Linux users how to follow the guide.
Recommendations
- Include parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in the 'Create virtual machine' section, with appropriate admin account setup.
- Add connectivity testing steps for Linux VMs, such as using curl or wget from the command line to verify outbound connectivity (e.g., curl https://whatsmyip.org).
- Clarify that the configuration applies to both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide notes or links to Linux-specific guidance where relevant.
- When referencing browsers, mention alternatives available on Linux (e.g., Firefox, Chromium) or use command-line tools for parity.
