Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All virtual machine examples use Windows Server 2019 Datacenter, and the only automation example for configuring IIS uses Azure PowerShell with Windows-specific commands. There are no Linux VM deployment or configuration examples, nor any mention of Linux tools or shell commands. The test and usage scenarios (RDP, PowerShell, IIS) are all Windows-centric, with no Linux alternatives provided.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux examples for VM creation, such as deploying Ubuntu or other Linux distributions.
- Include automation examples using Bash/Cloud Shell for Linux VMs (e.g., using Azure CLI and cloud-init for installing Apache or Nginx).
- Demonstrate connectivity tests using SSH and curl/wget from a Linux VM, in addition to RDP and browser tests.
- Mention both Windows and Linux options when describing VM creation steps and testing scenarios.
- When showing PowerShell scripts, also provide equivalent Azure CLI/Bash scripts for Linux users.
