Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for configuring an outbound-only load balancer in Azure, but all virtual machine creation and connectivity testing examples use Windows Server as the VM image and Microsoft Edge for browser-based connectivity checks. There are no Linux VM examples, nor instructions for Linux-based connectivity testing, which may create friction for users deploying Linux workloads.
Recommendations
- Include parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in the 'Create virtual machine' section, with appropriate settings for SSH authentication.
- Provide connectivity testing steps for Linux VMs, such as using curl or wget from the command line to verify outbound connectivity (e.g., 'curl https://whatsmyip.org').
- Clarify that the load balancer configuration is OS-agnostic and works for both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Where browser-based testing is mentioned, suggest alternatives for Linux users (e.g., Firefox, Chromium, or command-line tools).
