Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it provides Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell instructions, several patterns favor Windows users: PowerShell is featured as a primary automation method, and the test scenario assumes IIS (a Windows-only web server) is running on backend VMs. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples, such as using Apache/Nginx for backend pools, nor are there Linux shell commands for VM management or verification. The CLI examples are cross-platform, but the overall flow and testing steps implicitly assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-specific backend pool examples, such as deploying Apache or Nginx on Linux VMs.
  • In the 'Test the load balancer' section, mention how to verify with a Linux-based web server (e.g., using curl or checking Apache/Nginx default page).
  • Provide explicit instructions or links for creating Linux VMs in backend pools.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and Windows, and provide shell-specific notes if needed.
  • Avoid assuming IIS is the default backend; offer parity for Linux web servers.
  • Consider showing Linux shell commands for stopping VMs (e.g., az vm deallocate) alongside portal/PowerShell instructions.
