Summary:
The documentation assumes the use of Microsoft IIS Servers as backend pool members and does not provide any examples or guidance for deploying or verifying Linux-based workloads. All references to backend servers are Windows-centric, and there are no Linux alternatives or parity in examples, which may lead users to believe that only Windows/IIS is supported or recommended.
Recommendations:
- Include examples of configuring Linux-based backend servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) in the backend pool.
- Explicitly state that backend pool members can be any OS, not just Windows/IIS.
- Provide screenshots or command-line examples for verifying backend pool membership and connectivity from both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Mention Linux-based verification steps (e.g., using curl or wget from a Linux VM to test endpoint availability).
- Clarify that the Traffic Manager and Application Gateway integration is OS-agnostic and works with both Windows and Linux workloads.
