Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All command-line examples use PowerShell, including certificate creation and IIS installation. The tutorial assumes the use of Windows Server as the backend OS, and there are no examples or instructions for Linux-based VMs, certificate generation on Linux, or using Bash/Azure CLI. Windows tools and paths (e.g., c:\appgwcert.pfx) are used exclusively, and Windows is the default/only option presented for the scale set OS.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash for certificate creation and VM configuration.
- Include instructions for generating self-signed certificates on Linux (e.g., using OpenSSL).
- Offer a Linux-based backend VMSS example (e.g., Ubuntu with NGINX or Apache).
- Use platform-neutral file paths and terminology where possible.
- Present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or clearly indicate how to adapt steps for Linux users.
- Mention that IIS is Windows-specific and suggest alternatives (e.g., NGINX/Apache) for Linux.
- Ensure that portal-based steps do not assume Windows-specific file formats or tools.
