Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. It exclusively uses Windows Server as the VM OS in all examples, provides only PowerShell-based instructions for backend configuration (IIS installation), and does not mention or provide alternatives for Linux-based VMs or command-line tools (such as Bash or Azure CLI). The use of Windows-specific tooling and the absence of Linux guidance may hinder users who prefer or require Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Include parallel Linux-based examples for VM creation (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside Windows Server.
- Provide Bash/Azure CLI commands for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on Linux VMs, in addition to the PowerShell/IIS example.
- Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported as backend pool members, and link to relevant documentation for both.
- Where scripts or commands are shown, offer both PowerShell (for Windows) and Bash (for Linux) alternatives.
- Consider reordering or balancing the presentation so that Linux and Windows options are given equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
