Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by only referencing Windows Server (IIS) as the web server deployed on the virtual machines, with no mention of Linux alternatives. The verification step specifically instructs users to expect the default IIS Windows Server web page, and the template configures IIS, which is Windows-specific. There are no examples or guidance for deploying or verifying with a Linux-based web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx), nor are there any Linux command-line or deployment instructions.
Recommendations:
- Include parallel instructions and screenshots for deploying and verifying a Linux-based web server (such as Apache or Nginx) in addition to IIS.
- Modify the ARM template or provide an alternative template that configures a Linux VM with a popular web server.
- In the verification section, show what users should expect if they deployed a Linux VM (e.g., default Apache/Nginx page).
- Explicitly mention that the tutorial can be followed with either Windows or Linux VMs, and provide parameter options or guidance for both.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default platform; present both Windows and Linux options equally throughout the documentation.
