Summary
The documentation provides only Windows/PowerShell instructions for configuring IIS on backend VMs, with no mention of Linux alternatives (such as Apache or Nginx) or Linux command-line examples. The VM setup and load balancer creation steps are platform-neutral, but the web server installation and configuration section is Windows-centric, using PowerShell and IIS exclusively. This creates friction for users deploying Linux VMs as backend pool members.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel section for Linux VMs, showing how to install and configure a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using Bash commands.
- Explicitly state that backend VMs can be either Windows or Linux, and provide guidance for both.
- Include example scripts for Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.) to match the PowerShell IIS setup.
- Mention that IIS is Windows-only, and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
