Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific paths and tools are often mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., 'D:\home', references to 'w3wp.exe', 'applicationHost.config', and Windows-specific environment variables). Many settings and explanations are tailored to Windows App Service or native Windows apps, with Linux equivalents either mentioned later, less prominently, or omitted. Some examples and defaults reference Windows conventions (such as time zones linked to Windows documentation, or logging paths using Windows syntax). In build automation, the Kudu (Windows) section is more detailed and comes before the Oryx (Linux) section. Several environment variables are described as 'Windows only' or have Windows-specific behaviors, with Linux alternatives not always fully explained.
Recommendations
- For every Windows-specific example or path (e.g., 'D:\home'), provide the Linux equivalent (e.g., '/home').
- When referencing tools or processes (e.g., 'w3wp.exe', 'applicationHost.config'), also mention the Linux or cross-platform alternatives, or clarify when they are not applicable.
- Avoid linking only to Windows documentation (such as time zones); include Linux/Unix equivalents or note differences.
- Present Linux and Windows options in parallel, rather than always listing Windows first.
- Expand the Oryx (Linux) build automation section to match the detail of the Kudu (Windows) section, and ensure parity in explanations and examples.
- Clearly indicate when a setting is platform-specific, and provide guidance for both platforms where possible.
- Where defaults differ by platform, explicitly state the default for each (not just for Windows).
