Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for creating a public load balancer in Azure using the portal, but when configuring the backend VMs, it exclusively demonstrates installing IIS using Windows PowerShell commands. There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux VMs (e.g., installing Apache or Nginx), nor are Linux command-line examples provided. The use of Windows PowerShell and IIS is presented as the default, with no mention of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel section demonstrating how to install a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on Linux VMs, including relevant Bash commands.
- Explicitly state that the backend VMs can be either Windows or Linux, and provide guidance for both.
- When showing code examples, present both Windows and Linux commands side-by-side or indicate which OS each applies to.
- Consider using a more platform-neutral test workload (e.g., a simple HTML file served by any web server) to illustrate load balancing.
