Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the following areas: (1) Windows paths and behaviors are often mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., 'D:\home\site\wwwroot' before '/home/site/wwwroot'); (2) The Kudu UI ZIP deploy method is only available for Windows, with Linux users told to use alternative methods; (3) The use of the Azure portal's 'Advanced Tools' (Kudu) is a Windows-centric workflow, and instructions for Linux users are less direct; (4) Some examples and notes (such as startup script deployment) reference Windows-specific paths or behaviors before Linux equivalents; (5) There are no Linux shell or SCP/rsync examples, and no mention of Linux-native tools for file transfer or deployment.
Recommendations
  • When mentioning file paths or behaviors, present Linux and Windows variants equally, or mention Linux first where appropriate.
  • Provide explicit Linux-native examples (e.g., using SCP, rsync, or Linux shell commands) for file deployment scenarios.
  • Clarify which features are Windows-only and provide clear, step-by-step alternatives for Linux users, not just links.
  • Where the Azure portal or Kudu UI is referenced, note the parity or lack thereof for Linux, and suggest equivalent Linux-friendly workflows.
  • Avoid using Windows-centric terminology or tools as the default; instead, use cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI and cURL) as primary examples.
  • Add a table or section summarizing feature parity and differences between Windows and Linux App Service environments.
