Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias, particularly in the 'Install IIS' section, where only Windows Server is used for the VM image and only Windows PowerShell commands are provided for configuring the web server. There are no Linux VM options or equivalent Linux-based instructions (e.g., using Ubuntu and Apache/nginx). The use of Windows-specific tools and administrative patterns (PowerShell, Windows Administrative Tools) further reinforces this bias.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux-based VMs (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) alongside Windows VMs.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using bash/ssh) for installing and configuring a web server such as Apache or nginx.
- Offer users a choice of OS image (Windows or Linux) in the VM creation steps, and clarify that the load balancer works with both.
- Demonstrate how to connect to Linux VMs (e.g., via SSH through Bastion) and perform equivalent setup tasks.
- Balance the documentation by presenting both Windows and Linux workflows, or at minimum, link to Linux-specific tutorials for similar scenarios.
