Summary:
The documentation shows evidence of Windows bias. Windows is mentioned first in SKU availability, and Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, despite CLI being more cross-platform. There are no Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples, and the use of PowerShell is not contextualized for Linux users. Portal instructions and screenshots do not clarify differences for Linux vs. Windows app deployments. The documentation also refers to 'Development tools' and 'Clone app' features without noting any OS-specific differences or limitations.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux and Windows instructions/examples in parallel, or alternate which comes first.
- Provide bash shell scripting examples alongside PowerShell for automation, especially for Linux users.
- Clarify any OS-specific differences in portal workflows, screenshots, or feature availability.
- Explicitly mention if PowerShell commands are cross-platform or provide alternatives for Linux/macOS.
- Ensure all automation and scripting sections include both Azure CLI and native Linux shell (bash/zsh) usage where applicable.
- Highlight any limitations or differences for Linux users in 'Development tools' or 'Clone app' features.
