About This Page

This page is part of the Azure documentation. It contains code examples and configuration instructions for working with Azure services.

Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily by providing only Azure PowerShell scripts for identifying function apps, with no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native instructions. References to Visual Studio (a Windows-centric tool) are present, and there is no mention of cross-platform alternatives for publishing or managing Azure Functions. The documentation assumes the use of Windows tooling and does not address Linux/macOS users or provide parity in examples or instructions.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands and Bash scripts for identifying and managing function apps, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly mention and provide instructions for using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and Azure CLI for publishing and managing Azure Functions.
  • Where Visual Studio is referenced, add guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using VS Code or command-line deployment methods.
  • Audit the documentation for other Windows-specific assumptions (e.g., file paths, environment variables) and ensure cross-platform compatibility is addressed.
  • Add a section or callouts clarifying that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS, and link to relevant cross-platform tooling documentation.

Flagged Code Snippets

# [.NET Framework 4.8](#tab/netframework48)
This example includes [ASP.NET Core integration] to improve performance and provide a familiar programming model when your app uses HTTP triggers. If you don't intend to use HTTP triggers, you can replace the call to `ConfigureFunctionsWebApplication` with a call to `ConfigureFunctionsWorkerDefaults`. If you do so, you can remove the reference to `Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.Http.AspNetCore` from your project file. However, for the best performance, even for functions with other trigger types, you should keep the `FrameworkReference` to ASP.NET Core. # [.NET Framework 4.8](#tab/netframework48)
