Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the backend VM creation and configuration steps. Only Windows Server is used as the example OS for backend VMs, and IIS installation is performed exclusively via Azure PowerShell with Windows-specific commands. There are no Linux VM examples, nor instructions for installing a Linux web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx). The tutorial assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend servers.
  • Provide Linux-specific commands for installing a web server (e.g., Apache: 'sudo apt update && sudo apt install apache2 -y').
  • Include Azure CLI or Bash Cloud Shell examples alongside PowerShell commands.
  • Clarify that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend VMs.
  • Present Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or alternate which is shown first.
