Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing on Windows-specific concepts, tools, and examples. It provides instructions and examples that are either exclusive to Windows environments (such as referencing the Windows registry, web.config, and Windows-specific patching), or do not mention Linux equivalents. The Kudu console examples and runtime version queries are all Windows-centric, and there is no guidance for Linux-based App Service plans. The only runtime configuration file mentioned is web.config (Windows/IIS), and the note about Node.js versioning explicitly references 'Windows App Service'.
Recommendations
  • Include equivalent instructions and examples for Linux-based App Service plans, such as how to check OS and runtime versions on Linux.
  • Provide Linux-specific configuration file examples (e.g., appsettings.json, environment variables, or startup scripts) alongside web.config.
  • Clarify when instructions or examples apply only to Windows, and provide parallel Linux instructions where possible.
  • Mention Linux patching cadence and mechanisms if they differ from Windows.
  • In tables and code samples, add Linux shell commands (e.g., cat /etc/os-release, lsb_release -a) for querying OS information.
  • Avoid referencing Windows registry or Windows-specific tools without Linux alternatives.
