Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates some Windows bias, primarily through the exclusive mention of Windows-specific deployment tools (such as Web Deploy and MSBuild), and by referencing Visual Studio deployment without mentioning cross-platform alternatives. There are no explicit Linux or macOS-specific deployment tool examples, and the documentation does not provide parity in discussing Linux-native tools or workflows. While Azure CLI examples are cross-platform, the overall framing and tool references are Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Include examples or references for deploying from Linux/macOS environments, such as using SCP/SFTP, rsync, or Linux-native FTP clients.
- Mention and provide examples for cross-platform deployment tools (e.g., VS Code with Azure extensions, Git, or third-party CI/CD tools) alongside Visual Studio and MSBuild.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands can be run from any OS, and provide explicit instructions or screenshots for Linux/macOS terminals where appropriate.
- When referencing 'Web Deploy' and 'MSBuild', note their Windows-specific nature and suggest Linux/macOS alternatives or workarounds.
- In the deployment method table, add a column or notes indicating OS compatibility for each method, especially for those that are Windows-only.
- Provide troubleshooting or confirmation steps using Linux/macOS command-line tools (e.g., curl, git, lftp) in addition to or instead of Windows tools.
