Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in its configuration examples. All backend VM setup instructions use Windows Server 2016 with IIS, and only PowerShell commands are provided for web server configuration. There are no examples or guidance for using Linux-based VMs (such as Ubuntu/Apache or CentOS/Nginx), nor are Linux CLI commands or alternative web server setups mentioned. This may create friction for users wishing to deploy Linux-based web apps behind Azure Application Gateway.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples for Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu with Apache or Nginx) in all configuration sections.
  • Provide equivalent Linux shell commands for installing and configuring web servers (e.g., apt install apache2, echo $HOSTNAME > /var/www/html/index.html).
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported as backend pools, and link to relevant Linux setup guides.
  • Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs do not exclusively show Windows environments.
  • Consider a 'Platform considerations' section outlining differences or additional steps for Linux users.
