Summary
The tutorial exclusively uses Windows Server as the example operating system for the workload VM, and the testing instructions reference Remote Desktop and Internet Explorer, both Windows-specific tools. There are no Linux equivalents or instructions provided, and Linux is not mentioned as an option for the workload VM or for testing the firewall.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for deploying a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) as an alternative to Windows Server in the 'Create a virtual machine' section.
  • Provide Linux-specific guidance for connecting to the VM (e.g., using SSH instead of Remote Desktop) and for testing outbound connectivity (e.g., using curl or wget to test access to allowed/blocked FQDNs).
  • Mention both Windows and Linux options in all relevant sections, and ensure parity in examples and testing steps.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (like Internet Explorer) as the sole method for testing; suggest cross-platform browsers or command-line tools.
  • Add a note or table summarizing differences or considerations for Linux vs. Windows VMs in this scenario.
