Summary
The documentation exclusively demonstrates creating and configuring Windows Server-based virtual machines (using the 'win2019datacenter' image) and uses Windows-specific tools and commands (such as PowerShell and IIS). There are no examples or instructions for deploying or configuring Linux VMs, nor for installing or testing with Linux-based web servers. The instructions for installing IIS use PowerShell commands, and the test steps reference Internet Explorer, further reinforcing a Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for creating Linux-based VMs (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside the Windows examples.
  • Include instructions for installing a web server on Linux VMs (e.g., using apt to install nginx or Apache) with corresponding az vm extension set commands.
  • Show how to test the load balancer using Linux tools (e.g., curl or wget) in addition to or instead of Internet Explorer.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools (such as PowerShell or Internet Explorer) and offer cross-platform alternatives.
  • Explicitly mention that the process works for both Windows and Linux VMs, and link to relevant documentation for Linux VM management where appropriate.
