Summary
The tutorial exclusively uses Windows Server as the network virtual appliance (NVA) and provides only Windows-specific instructions and PowerShell commands for BGP configuration. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives mentioned, and the use of Windows tools (RRAS, PowerShell) is assumed throughout. This creates friction for users who wish to use Linux-based NVAs, which are common in networking scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel section demonstrating how to deploy and configure a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) as an NVA, including installation and configuration of BGP using tools like FRRouting (FRR) or Quagga.
- Provide Linux shell commands and configuration file examples for BGP setup and peering.
- Clarify that other operating systems (Linux, BSD) can be used as NVAs and link to relevant documentation or marketplace images.
- Ensure that verification steps (e.g., route checks) include Linux-native tools (such as vtysh, birdc, or netstat) and Azure CLI examples.
- Rephrase sections to refer to 'network virtual appliance' generically, not just 'Windows Server', unless specifically required.
