Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All configuration examples for backend web servers use Windows Server 2016 with IIS, and all setup commands are provided exclusively in PowerShell. There are no examples or instructions for deploying or configuring Linux-based web servers (e.g., Ubuntu with Apache or Nginx), nor are Linux command-line equivalents (such as Bash commands) provided. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment for backend pools, which may not reflect the diversity of customer environments.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel examples using Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) as backend servers, including steps to install and configure Apache or Nginx.
- Provide Bash command equivalents for all PowerShell commands, such as using apt/yum for package installation and echo/touch for file creation.
- Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported as backend pools, and link to relevant documentation for Linux web server setup.
- Balance the order of examples so that Linux and Windows are presented equally, or alternate which OS is shown first in different sections.
- Include screenshots or CLI snippets from Linux environments (e.g., SSH terminal, Apache/Nginx default pages) to illustrate parity.
