Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Windows Server as the VM image and provides only Windows-specific instructions for configuring backend servers (e.g., installing IIS via PowerShell). There are no examples or guidance for deploying or configuring Linux-based VMs, nor are there alternative commands or tools for Linux environments. The use of PowerShell and Windows-specific tools is pervasive, and Linux parity is entirely absent.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for deploying Linux-based VMs (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) in the backend pool.
  • Provide Linux-specific steps for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) using Bash or the Azure Run Command for Linux.
  • Show both Windows and Linux options side-by-side in tables or as separate sections, making it clear that either OS can be used.
  • When demonstrating the use of Azure Run Command, include Bash script examples for Linux VMs.
  • Mention that the load balancer works with both Windows and Linux VMs, and link to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Ensure screenshots and portal instructions show both Windows and Linux image selection where appropriate.
