Summary
The documentation demonstrates a significant Windows bias. Virtual machine creation is shown only for Windows Server, IIS installation is performed exclusively via Azure PowerShell and Windows-specific commands, and hosts file editing instructions are tailored for Windows (including command prompt and ipconfig usage). No Linux or macOS equivalents are provided for VM creation, web server setup, or hosts file editing.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) and installing a web server such as Apache or Nginx, including relevant Azure CLI or portal steps.
  • Provide Linux/macOS commands for editing the hosts file (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts) and for flushing DNS (e.g., systemd-resolve --flush-caches, dscacheutil -flushcache for macOS).
  • Include Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell, or clarify that both can be used.
  • Explicitly state that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backend servers, and link to relevant documentation.
  • Reorder examples so that OS-neutral or Linux instructions are presented alongside or before Windows-specific ones where possible.
