Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server for all virtual machine examples, providing only PowerShell commands for configuration (specifically for IIS installation), and omitting any Linux-based examples or CLI alternatives. The workflow assumes Windows administrative patterns and tools, such as RDP and PowerShell, without mentioning or providing parity for Linux users (e.g., SSH, Bash, Linux VMs, or Azure CLI).
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for deploying and configuring Linux-based virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu Server) in both the spoke and on-premises roles.
  • Include Azure CLI and/or Bash script examples for tasks such as installing web servers (e.g., using apt to install nginx or apache2) in addition to the PowerShell/IIS example.
  • Demonstrate how to connect to Linux VMs using SSH, and how to test connectivity (e.g., using curl or wget) instead of only RDP and browser-based testing.
  • When referencing remote desktop access, mention alternatives for Linux (e.g., SSH, xrdp, or other remote access tools).
  • Ensure that all code snippets and configuration steps have both Windows and Linux equivalents, and present them side-by-side or with clear toggles.
  • Avoid assuming the administrator is using Windows or PowerShell by default; introduce both Windows and Linux options at the start of the tutorial.
