Summary:
The documentation generally provides parity between Windows and Linux, but there are several areas of Windows bias. Windows examples and tools (like Kudu, FTPS, and web.config) are mentioned explicitly and sometimes before Linux equivalents. Some instructions, especially around process management and diagnostics, are more detailed for Windows (e.g., using Kudu's Process Explorer), while Linux relies on SSH access. Windows-specific notes (such as web.config for Tomcat) are present, but Linux equivalents are not always discussed. There are also references to Windows-specific deployment conventions and tools, and some features (like Tomcat patch version pinning) are described as more configurable on Windows than Linux.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux examples are always presented alongside Windows examples, with equal detail and clarity.
- Where Windows tools (such as Kudu, FTPS, web.config) are mentioned, provide Linux alternatives (e.g., SSH, SCP, Linux config files) and link to their documentation.
- Avoid presenting Windows instructions or tools first unless there is a technical reason; alternate the order or present both together.
- Expand Linux troubleshooting and diagnostics sections to match the detail given for Windows (e.g., process management, file access).
- Clarify any feature parity gaps (such as patch version pinning for Tomcat) and provide workarounds or roadmap notes for Linux users.
- Review all notes and tips for Windows-specific advice and add equivalent Linux guidance where possible.
