Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All command-line examples use PowerShell, including certificate creation and IIS installation. The VM scale set is explicitly created with Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, and IIS (a Windows web server) is installed via PowerShell scripts. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided for certificate creation, backend server OS, or web server setup.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux examples for all command-line steps, such as using OpenSSL for certificate creation and Bash/Azure CLI for automation.
  • Include instructions for deploying a Linux-based VM scale set (e.g., Ubuntu) and installing a Linux web server (e.g., Nginx or Apache) as the backend pool.
  • Offer both PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI scripts for all automation steps, and clarify which OS each applies to.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns alongside Windows ones, and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
  • Add a section or callouts for cross-platform considerations, helping users choose the right instructions for their environment.
