Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific deployment methods (Web Deploy) are described in detail, with explicit instructions to use Windows agents, while Linux alternatives are not discussed. The FAQ and error messages focus on Windows agent requirements, and there is no equivalent coverage for Linux deployment tools or troubleshooting. Examples and templates often default to .NET/ASP.NET (traditionally Windows-centric), and Windows-specific deployment patterns (e.g., Web Deploy, IIS references) are mentioned without Linux parity.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux deployment examples, especially for scenarios where Web Deploy is not available (e.g., using zip deploy, FTP, or Kudu REST API on Linux agents).
- Include troubleshooting steps and error messages relevant to Linux agents, not just Windows.
- When referencing deployment methods, mention Linux-compatible alternatives alongside Windows tools, and clarify which methods are cross-platform.
- Balance .NET/ASP.NET examples with examples for Node.js, Python, Java, etc., and ensure these include both Windows and Linux deployment scenarios.
- Explicitly state platform limitations (e.g., Web Deploy is Windows-only) and suggest best practices for Linux users.
- Add links to documentation on Linux deployment tools and patterns, such as Azure CLI, SCP, or Git-based deployments.
