Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All virtual machine creation steps use Windows Server as the OS, and IIS (a Windows-only web server) is installed for backend testing. The only shell/command-line example provided is in PowerShell, with no mention of Linux VMs, Linux web servers (such as Apache or Nginx), or Bash/CLI equivalents. No Linux setup or validation steps are included, and the documentation assumes a Windows-centric workflow throughout.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux-based backend VMs (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) alongside Windows VMs.
- Include examples for installing a Linux web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on the Linux VMs, with corresponding validation steps.
- Offer Bash/Azure CLI command examples for installing web servers and configuring VMs, not just PowerShell.
- When referencing OS choices, present Windows and Linux options equally (e.g., 'Select Windows Server or Ubuntu from the list').
- Add screenshots and validation steps for Linux-based backend servers to ensure parity.
- Avoid assuming IIS or Windows-specific tools as the default for backend validation.
