Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Windows-specific terminology and tools (such as Azure PowerShell and references to Windows containers) are introduced before or more prominently than their Linux counterparts. PowerShell scripting is given a dedicated section, but there is no equivalent example for Linux shell scripting (e.g., Bash). While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the documentation does not provide Linux-specific automation or deployment examples, and the PowerShell example uses Windows-centric parameters (e.g., WorkerSize values like 'Small', 'Medium', 'Large'). The portal instructions and screenshots do not clarify whether steps differ for Linux vs. Windows apps, and Linux container scenarios are mentioned only in passing.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Bash shell scripting examples for Linux users alongside PowerShell examples.
- Clarify in portal instructions and screenshots whether steps differ for Linux vs. Windows App Service apps.
- When listing automation options, present Azure CLI (cross-platform) before PowerShell, and note that CLI is suitable for both Linux and Windows environments.
- Expand on Linux container scenarios with concrete examples or links to Linux-specific guidance.
- Where parameters or options differ between Windows and Linux (such as WorkerSize or available SKUs), call out those differences explicitly.
