Summary:
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows-based App Service apps, with terminology, environment variables, and examples that are specific to Windows (e.g., %SystemDrive%, %ResourceDrive%, IIS, ASP.NET, COM components, registry access, and Windows event logs). Linux is only mentioned briefly in a note, with no equivalent details or examples for Linux-based App Service environments. There are no Linux-specific environment variables, file system paths, or diagnostic/logging mechanisms discussed. Windows tools and patterns (such as PowerShell, IIS, and the Windows registry) are mentioned exclusively, and there are no Linux command-line or shell examples.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel sections or notes for Linux-based App Service apps, describing their file system layout, environment variables (e.g., $HOME, /tmp), and storage persistence.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for file access, such as using $HOME/site or /home/site, and clarify differences in temporary storage and persistence.
- Discuss diagnostic and logging mechanisms available in Linux containers (e.g., syslog, stdout/stderr, Azure Monitor integration) and how they differ from Windows.
- Mention Linux-specific process and code execution capabilities (e.g., bash, sh, shell scripts) alongside PowerShell and Windows command shell.
- Clarify the absence of Windows-specific features (like registry and event logs) in Linux environments, and describe any Linux equivalents or alternatives.
- Ensure that Linux tools and patterns are given equal prominence and are not relegated to footnotes or brief mentions.
