windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias by referencing Windows-style paths (e.g., D:\home), using Windows terminology and folder structures throughout, and omitting Linux-specific equivalents or examples. The only tool mentioned for disk usage is a Windows-centric site extension, and there are no Linux command-line or file path examples. While there is a note about Linux containers, the main documentation assumes a Windows environment and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples, including file paths (e.g., /home/site) and environment variables as they appear on Linux-based App Service plans.
- Mention and demonstrate how to check disk usage and environment variables using Linux tools (e.g., du, df, or bash commands) in addition to the Azure Web Apps Disk Usage extension.
- Clarify differences in local cache behavior and configuration between Windows and Linux App Service plans, including any limitations or alternative approaches.
- Ensure that all instructions and best practices are applicable to both Windows and Linux environments, or clearly indicate when a feature is Windows-only.
- Add a section or callouts for Linux users, summarizing key differences and providing links to relevant Linux documentation.
