Summary:
The documentation exclusively demonstrates deploying and testing Azure Firewall using a Windows Server virtual machine, with no mention or example of Linux-based VMs. The test instructions (e.g., using Remote Desktop and Internet Explorer) are Windows-specific, and there are no Linux alternatives or parity in the walkthrough. The only OS option presented for the test VM is Windows, and the testing steps assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel instructions for deploying a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) in the test subnet, including example configuration values.
- Include Linux-specific testing steps, such as connecting via SSH and using a browser like Firefox or Chrome to test outbound access.
- Provide guidance on configuring DNS settings for Linux VMs (e.g., editing /etc/resolv.conf or using cloud-init).
- Wherever possible, present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or at least mention Linux as an alternative.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools (e.g., Remote Desktop, Internet Explorer) in testing steps; suggest cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives.
