Summary
The documentation demonstrates notable Windows bias in the virtual machine creation and configuration steps. Only Windows Server images are used for VM creation, and the instructions for installing a web server rely exclusively on Windows-specific tools (IIS, PowerShell). There are no examples or guidance for deploying Linux VMs or installing a Linux web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx). This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may prefer or require Linux-based backend servers.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel examples for creating Linux VMs (e.g., using --image UbuntuLTS or other Linux images).
- Include instructions and Azure CLI commands for installing a web server on Linux VMs (e.g., using CustomScriptExtension to install Apache or Nginx).
- Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported, and link to relevant documentation for Linux setup.
- Offer users a choice at the start of the quickstart to follow either a Windows or Linux path.
