Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias, particularly in the .NET/ASP.NET sections, where Windows tools (Visual Studio, Azure PowerShell) are listed before Linux-friendly or cross-platform options. PowerShell is specifically called out as a deployment tool, but there is no mention of Bash or Linux shell equivalents. In the Python section, 'windows' is present in the tab parameters for CLI and VS Code instructions, and Linux-specific instructions are not clearly prioritized or separated. The 'Next step' call-to-action is for deploying an ASP.NET app, which is most commonly associated with Windows. In contrast, Linux-first or cross-platform approaches are less visible or are listed after Windows-centric tools. Some stacks (PHP, Node.js) do better, but the overall structure and example ordering favor Windows.
Recommendations:
- For each stack, ensure that Linux and cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash, VS Code) are listed before or alongside Windows-specific tools like Visual Studio and PowerShell.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, also provide equivalent Bash or Azure CLI examples, and make these visible and easy to find.
- In the Python section, clarify and separate Linux and Windows instructions, and avoid defaulting to 'windows' in tab parameters for CLI examples.
- Balance the 'Next step' call-to-action by either making it stack-neutral or providing Linux-friendly options (e.g., 'Deploy a Node.js app on Linux').
- Audit all quickstart and deployment links to ensure Linux parity and that Linux users are not required to adapt Windows-centric instructions.
- Consider adding a table or section summarizing tool parity for Windows and Linux users for each stack.
