Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific deployment methods (Web Deploy) are highlighted, and examples for these methods are only provided for Windows agents. Troubleshooting and FAQ sections focus on Windows agent requirements for certain features, with no Linux alternatives or parity. In some cases, Windows tools and patterns (such as IIS, Web Deploy, and web.config) are mentioned without Linux equivalents or guidance. Linux is mentioned as an option for agent selection, but detailed examples and troubleshooting for Linux scenarios are lacking.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux examples for all deployment scenarios, especially for advanced deployment methods (e.g., Web Deploy alternatives for Linux, or clarify limitations).
- When mentioning Windows-specific tools (e.g., Web Deploy, IIS, web.config), also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., Kudu, Nginx/Apache, app-specific config files) or note if none exist.
- In troubleshooting and FAQ sections, include Linux agent-specific guidance and error messages, not just Windows.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default; when presenting agent selection, alternate the order or provide parallel instructions for both Windows and Linux.
- Where features are Windows-only, clearly state this and suggest best practices or workarounds for Linux users.
