Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments. The only virtual machine example provided is Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, with no mention of Linux VM alternatives. The instructions for backend setup and testing exclusively use Windows tools (IIS) and Azure PowerShell, with no Linux equivalent (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Bash/SSH) provided or referenced. The step-by-step VM creation process is Windows-centric, and the installation/testing steps rely on Windows-specific technologies.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating and configuring a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) as a backend server.
  • Provide Linux-based examples for installing a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) and testing connectivity.
  • Include Azure CLI and Bash/SSH commands for Linux VM setup and web server installation, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly mention that Application Gateway supports both Windows and Linux backends, and link to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Present Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or alternate which is shown first, to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
