Summary
The documentation page demonstrates notable Windows bias. Azure PowerShell is the only CLI method shown for preview registration and IIS installation, with no equivalent Bash/Azure CLI or Linux examples. The VM creation example uses Windows Server exclusively, and IIS is used for backend testing, omitting Linux VM or web server alternatives. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, though the portal-based steps are cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI (bash) examples for preview registration and unregistration alongside PowerShell.
  • Include instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend targets, not just Windows Server.
  • Offer Linux web server setup (e.g., Apache or Nginx) for backend testing, with sample install commands.
  • Clarify that backend pools can use Linux VMs and provide parity in examples.
  • Ensure that CLI instructions are presented for both PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI, or link to equivalent Linux/macOS guidance.
