Summary:
The documentation exclusively references Microsoft IIS Servers as backend VMs and demonstrates verification steps using Windows-centric tools (IIS, vSphere Client, Azure portal). There are no examples or mentions of Linux-based backend servers (such as Apache or Nginx), nor are there any Linux command-line or management tool instructions. This creates a Windows-first impression and omits guidance for users deploying Linux workloads.
Recommendations:
- Include examples of configuring Linux-based backend servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) as pool members in the Application Gateway.
- Provide verification steps using Linux tools (such as SSH, curl, or Linux VM screenshots) alongside or instead of IIS/Windows examples.
- Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported as backend pool members, and link to relevant Linux setup documentation.
- Balance screenshots and walkthroughs to show both Windows and Linux environments where applicable.
