Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, particularly in the 504 Gateway time-out section, where IIS (a Windows web server) is mentioned first and in more detail than Nginx (a common Linux web server). The IIS section provides a direct link and specific configuration attribute, while the Nginx section is less detailed and lacks a direct link to official documentation. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but Windows-centric tools and patterns are prioritized. No Linux command-line or troubleshooting examples are provided elsewhere.
Recommendations
  • Present Nginx (Linux) and IIS (Windows) backend configuration guidance with equal detail, including direct links to official Nginx documentation (e.g., https://nginx.org/en/docs/) and explicit configuration examples.
  • When mentioning backend server types, alternate the order (e.g., Nginx first in some cases) or mention both together to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Add troubleshooting examples or references for common Linux-based backend servers (such as Apache, Nginx, or Tomcat), not just IIS.
  • Where possible, provide cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., curl, tcpdump, or Linux log file locations) alongside any Windows-specific guidance.
  • Explicitly state that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and ensure parity in troubleshooting steps and documentation coverage.
