Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server virtual machines as backend examples, providing only PowerShell commands for configuration (specifically for installing IIS), and omitting any Linux-based VM or CLI/Bash examples. The installation and testing instructions are tailored to Windows (IIS, PowerShell), with no mention of Linux alternatives (such as NGINX/Apache or Bash scripting). This may hinder Linux users from following the quickstart without additional research.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating and configuring Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend servers.
  • Provide Linux-based examples for installing a web server (e.g., using Bash to install NGINX or Apache).
  • Offer Azure CLI and/or Bash script equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for installing and configuring backend servers.
  • When referencing VM images, mention both Windows and popular Linux distributions, and clarify that Application Gateway supports both.
  • Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs are not exclusively tied to Windows workflows or tools.
