Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. Kudu is described primarily in the context of Windows App Service, with Linux mentioned as a secondary consideration. Deployment mechanisms such as WebDeploy (a Windows-centric tool) are listed without Linux equivalents like SCP or rsync. There are no explicit Linux command-line or shell script examples, and the language-specific sections (e.g., .NET) do not clarify cross-platform differences or provide Linux-specific guidance. The diagnostic and troubleshooting steps are described only through the Azure Portal UI, which is platform-agnostic but omits any CLI-based alternatives that might be more familiar to Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific deployment examples, such as using SCP, rsync, or SFTP for file transfers.
- When mentioning Kudu, clarify its operation and differences on both Windows and Linux App Service environments.
- Include Bash or shell script examples alongside any PowerShell or Windows command-line instructions.
- List Linux-friendly deployment mechanisms and tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Git, rsync) alongside or before Windows-centric tools like WebDeploy.
- In language-specific sections, note any differences in deployment or build processes between Windows and Linux App Service.
- For diagnostics, offer Azure CLI or REST API alternatives to portal-based instructions, catering to users who prefer command-line tools.
