Summary
The documentation provides only Windows Server VM creation instructions and exclusively uses Windows PowerShell commands to install IIS for testing. There are no examples or guidance for deploying Linux VMs or using Linux-native web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) for the backend pool, nor are there Bash/SSH examples. This creates friction for users preferring or required to use Linux VMs.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu) in the 'Create virtual machines' section.
  • Provide Linux-based examples for installing a web server (e.g., using SSH and apt to install Apache or Nginx, and echoing a custom index.html).
  • Show both Windows and Linux options for backend pool configuration and testing, or clarify that either OS can be used.
  • Explicitly mention that the load balancer works with both Windows and Linux VMs, and link to relevant Linux VM documentation.
