Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All VM creation steps use Windows Server images by default, and there are no Linux alternatives or examples provided. The IIS installation and configuration steps are exclusively shown using Windows PowerShell commands, with no mention of how to perform similar tasks on Linux VMs (e.g., using Apache or Nginx with Bash commands). Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Internet Explorer, Windows PowerShell, and Windows Administrative Tools) are referenced throughout, with no Linux equivalents or parity.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) alongside Windows Server, including screenshots or configuration tables.
- Include Linux-specific steps for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) using Bash commands (e.g., apt or yum), and show how to create a custom index.html file.
- Demonstrate how to connect to Linux VMs using SSH via Azure Bastion, and provide example commands for Linux terminal usage.
- When referencing tools (e.g., PowerShell, Internet Explorer), also mention Linux alternatives (e.g., Bash, Firefox, or curl).
- Ensure that all code snippets and configuration steps have both Windows and Linux variants, or clearly indicate if a step is Windows-only and provide guidance for Linux users.
