Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All VM creation steps use Windows Server images, and the only example for installing a web server (IIS) is via Windows PowerShell. There are no instructions or examples for deploying Linux VMs, nor for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on Linux. The testing steps also assume a Windows environment (using Microsoft Edge). This creates friction for users who prefer or require Linux-based solutions.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) in the portal.
  • Provide Linux-specific steps for installing a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) using Bash commands.
  • Include testing instructions using Linux tools (e.g., curl, Firefox) on the test VM.
  • Present both Windows and Linux examples side-by-side or allow users to select their preferred OS path.
  • Avoid assuming Windows-only environments in screenshots and step descriptions.
