Summary
The tutorial demonstrates notable Windows bias: backend VM creation is only shown for Windows Server, IIS installation uses PowerShell, and hosts file editing is described exclusively for Windows (with DOS commands and Windows file paths). No Linux/macOS equivalents are provided for VM creation, web server setup, or hosts file editing, making the experience less accessible for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend servers, including web server installation (such as Apache or Nginx) via Bash or Azure CLI.
  • Provide Linux/macOS steps for editing the hosts file (e.g., /etc/hosts), including commands for flushing DNS cache (e.g., 'sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches' or 'sudo dscacheutil -flushcache').
  • Include Azure CLI or Bash alternatives for IIS/web server setup, avoiding exclusive reliance on PowerShell.
  • Clarify that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend VMs, and offer parity in examples.
