Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows, with all certificate creation and VM setup examples using Windows PowerShell and Windows Server. There are no Linux equivalents or alternative instructions for creating self-signed certificates or deploying backend servers with Linux. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., New-SelfSignedCertificate, Export-PfxCertificate, Add-WindowsFeature) are used exclusively, and Windows is presented as the default/first option throughout.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux instructions for creating self-signed certificates (e.g., using OpenSSL) and exporting PFX files.
  • Provide examples for deploying Linux VMs as backend servers, including installation of a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) for testing.
  • Include Bash/Azure CLI commands alongside PowerShell for resource management and VM extension installation.
  • Clearly state that both Windows and Linux are supported as backend targets, and provide parity in step-by-step guidance.
  • Mention cross-platform certificate management tools and reference relevant documentation for Linux users.
