Summary:
While the documentation is focused on deploying Python apps to Azure App Service on Linux and generally uses cross-platform Azure CLI commands, there are several instances of Windows bias. In command examples, Windows-specific shells (PowerShell, Cmd) are often presented alongside or even before Bash, and in some cases, Linux-specific instructions are missing or less detailed. The use of 'py -3' (a Windows Python launcher) in PowerShell and Cmd examples, without clear Linux alternatives, may confuse Linux users. The documentation does not always provide parity in example commands or troubleshooting steps for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Bash (Linux/macOS) examples are always presented first, especially in a Linux-focused quickstart.
- Where multiple shell examples are given, provide equal detail and clarity for Bash/Linux as for Windows shells.
- Avoid using Windows-specific Python launchers (like 'py -3') in cross-platform documentation; prefer 'python3' which works on Linux/macOS and is increasingly standard on Windows.
- Explicitly note any differences in command usage or environment setup between Windows and Linux, rather than assuming cross-platform equivalence.
- Review all troubleshooting and setup steps to ensure Linux users are fully supported and not directed to Windows-centric solutions.
- Where possible, consolidate examples to use the most cross-platform commands (e.g., 'python3'), and only add platform-specific tabs where absolutely necessary.
