Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All virtual machine creation examples use Windows Server images, and the only provided instructions for configuring the workload (IIS installation) use PowerShell commands. There are no examples or guidance for deploying Linux VMs, nor for configuring equivalent Linux services (such as Apache or Nginx). The Cloud Shell instructions default to PowerShell, and all remote access examples use RDP, which is Windows-specific. No Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., SSH, Bash, Linux VM images) are mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating Linux-based virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in both spoke and on-premises roles.
  • Provide examples for installing and configuring a web server on Linux (e.g., using Bash to install Apache or Nginx).
  • Add guidance for connecting to Linux VMs using SSH, and for testing connectivity via Linux-native tools.
  • Ensure Cloud Shell instructions mention Bash as an alternative to PowerShell.
  • When listing VM images, present both Windows and Linux options, or offer a choice.
  • Clarify that RDP is for Windows and suggest SSH for Linux remote access.
