Summary
The documentation page for configuring an outbound-only load balancer in Azure provides step-by-step instructions using the Azure portal, but when it comes to VM creation and connectivity testing, it exclusively references Windows Server (specifically Windows Server 2022 Datacenter) and Windows tools (Microsoft Edge browser). There are no examples or guidance for deploying or testing with Linux VMs, nor are Linux-specific tools or patterns mentioned.
Recommendations
- Include instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows VM example, or clarify that the process is identical for Linux.
- Provide guidance for connectivity testing on Linux VMs, such as using Firefox, Chrome, or command-line tools like curl or wget to verify outbound connectivity.
- Explicitly state that the load balancer configuration applies to both Windows and Linux VMs, and note any differences if applicable.
- Where possible, show both Windows and Linux examples in parallel, especially in sections involving VM creation and connectivity testing.
