Summary
The tutorial demonstrates notable Windows bias: it exclusively uses Windows Server VMs as backend targets, provides only PowerShell commands for IIS installation, and gives instructions for editing the hosts file and DNS cache using Windows-specific paths and tools. No Linux/macOS equivalents are mentioned, and Linux scenarios (e.g., using Apache/Nginx, Linux VMs, or Bash) are absent. Windows tools and patterns are referenced throughout, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM creation steps alongside Windows, e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS.
  • Provide Linux/macOS instructions for editing the hosts file (e.g., /etc/hosts), including appropriate commands for DNS cache flushing (e.g., 'sudo systemctl restart network-manager' or 'sudo dscacheutil -flushcache').
  • Offer Bash/Azure CLI alternatives for IIS installation, such as installing Apache or Nginx on Linux VMs.
  • Clarify that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and provide parity in examples.
  • Add notes or links for macOS users regarding hosts file editing and DNS cache management.
