Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the backend VM example, providing only PowerShell commands for configuration (specifically for installing IIS), and omitting any Linux-based examples or equivalent Bash/CLI instructions. The tutorial assumes the use of Windows tools and environments, with no mention of Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for deploying Linux-based backend VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows Server example.
  • Include 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 Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and offer guidance for both.
  • When showing code or command-line examples, present both PowerShell (for Windows) and Bash/CLI (for Linux) versions.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows options are given equal prominence, or clarify that the steps are similar for both platforms.
