Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All VM creation examples use Windows Server images, and the only instructions for installing a web server (IIS) are provided using Windows PowerShell commands. There are no Linux VM examples, nor are there instructions for installing or configuring a web server on Linux. The testing steps also assume the use of Microsoft Edge on a Windows VM. This creates friction for users who prefer or require Linux-based environments.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows VM example.
  • Provide Linux-specific steps for installing a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) and customizing the index.html file.
  • Offer shell (bash) command examples for Linux VM setup, in addition to PowerShell for Windows.
  • Mention cross-platform browser options for testing (e.g., Firefox, Chrome) rather than only Microsoft Edge.
  • Clearly indicate that the load balancer works with both Windows and Linux VMs, and link to relevant Linux documentation.
