Summary:
The documentation exclusively uses Windows Server as the example OS for the workload VM, with no mention of Linux alternatives or instructions. The testing section assumes the use of Remote Desktop and Internet Explorer, both Windows-specific tools, and does not provide Linux equivalents or guidance. While the Azure portal is cross-platform, the step-by-step instructions and validation steps are Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for deploying a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) in the workload subnet, including example settings.
- Include guidance for connecting to the Linux VM (e.g., using SSH) and testing outbound connectivity (e.g., using curl or wget to access allowed FQDNs).
- In the firewall DNAT rule section, mention SSH (port 22) as an alternative to RDP (port 3389) for Linux VMs.
- In the testing section, add Linux-specific examples for verifying DNS and HTTP/HTTPS access (e.g., using dig, nslookup, curl, or wget).
- Explicitly state that the procedure is applicable to both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide links to relevant Azure Linux VM documentation.
