Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell (Windows-centric) commands for all troubleshooting steps, referencing Windows tools and patterns (such as IIS and PowerShell cmdlets), and omitting equivalent Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native instructions. There are no Linux-specific troubleshooting examples or mentions of Linux-based backend servers, and Windows/PowerShell approaches are always presented first and often exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Provide Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside or before PowerShell cmdlets for all troubleshooting steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Include Bash shell command examples for network diagnostics (e.g., using curl, dig, nslookup, traceroute) to check DNS, connectivity, and health probe responses from Linux VMs.
- Mention and give examples for common Linux web servers (such as Apache, Nginx) in addition to IIS when discussing backend configuration and health checks.
- Clarify that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and provide troubleshooting guidance relevant to both.
- Where referencing Windows-specific tools or patterns (such as PowerShell or IIS), always provide Linux equivalents or alternatives.
- Add troubleshooting steps for checking firewall rules and service status on Linux (e.g., using systemctl, ufw, firewalld).
