Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it exclusively uses Windows Server virtual machines for all examples, provides only PowerShell-based automation (no Bash or CLI), and omits any Linux VM or Linux-based configuration steps. The installation of IIS and remote access instructions are all Windows-centric, and there are no parallel instructions or notes for Linux users. The only scripting example is PowerShell, and the Cloud Shell is set to PowerShell by default. No mention is made of deploying or testing with Linux VMs, nor are there examples using Azure CLI/Bash.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for deploying and configuring Linux virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu) in both the spoke and on-premises subnets.
  • Include Azure CLI (Bash) commands alongside PowerShell for automation steps, such as installing web servers or configuring resources.
  • Demonstrate how to install and test with a Linux web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) as an alternative to IIS.
  • Add instructions for connecting to Linux VMs (e.g., using SSH) and testing firewall rules with Linux tools (curl, wget, etc.).
  • Explicitly mention that the steps apply to both Windows and Linux, and highlight any OS-specific differences.
  • When referencing Cloud Shell, note that both Bash and PowerShell are available, and provide command examples for both.
