Summary:
The documentation provides configuration examples for several origin types, including App Service, Application Gateway, Application Gateway for Containers, IIS, and AKS NGINX controller. However, the IIS example is Windows-specific and includes a detailed IIS configuration file, while there is no equivalent example for common Linux web servers such as Apache or NGINX (outside of AKS). The ordering of examples places IIS before AKS NGINX, and there are no PowerShell or CLI command examples, but the presence of a Windows-only example and lack of parity for standalone Linux web servers indicates a Windows bias.
Recommendations:
- Add configuration examples for popular Linux web servers such as Apache (httpd) and standalone NGINX (outside of AKS), showing how to filter requests based on the X-Azure-FDID header.
- Ensure that Linux-based examples are presented alongside or before Windows/IIS examples to avoid the perception of Windows-first bias.
- Where possible, provide cross-platform configuration snippets or scripts (e.g., for both Windows and Linux environments).
- Include guidance for configuring header-based filtering in common Linux distributions, not just within Kubernetes or managed Azure services.
