Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for creating a public load balancer in the Azure portal, but the section on configuring the backend VMs is exclusively Windows-focused. It instructs users to install IIS using Windows PowerShell, with no mention of Linux VMs or how to configure a Linux-based web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx). All provided scripts and screenshots are Windows-centric, and there are no Linux equivalents or alternative instructions.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions for deploying and configuring Linux VMs in the backend pool, including steps to install a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) and create a test index.html file.
- Provide Bash shell commands for Linux VM setup, similar to the PowerShell commands given for Windows.
- Include screenshots or notes indicating that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported as backend pool members.
- Explicitly state that the backend VMs can be either Windows or Linux, and link to relevant documentation for Linux VM setup if not included inline.
