Summary
The documentation page for Azure Functions Core Tools shows evidence of Windows bias. The reference to 'func.exe' in the description and the use of Windows-centric terminology (such as .pfx certificates, trusted certificates, and PowerShell-specific options) suggest a preference for Windows environments. There is an emphasis on PowerShell as a supported worker runtime, with features like managed dependencies only available for PowerShell. Some features, such as log streaming, are noted as 'not yet supported for Linux' in certain plans, but Windows support is implied or assumed. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command examples, and Windows tools and patterns (e.g., .NET Framework 4.8, Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator) are mentioned without Linux equivalents or alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux and macOS command examples alongside Windows ones, including shell syntax (bash/zsh) and platform-specific notes.
- Replace or supplement references to Windows-only tools (e.g., Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator) with Linux alternatives (e.g., Azurite) and provide installation instructions for each platform.
- Clarify cross-platform support for features such as certificate creation, log streaming, and managed dependencies, and note any platform-specific limitations.
- Avoid using Windows-centric terminology (such as 'trusted certificate on your computer') without explaining how the same functionality works on Linux/macOS.
- Ensure parity in feature availability and documentation for PowerShell and other runtimes, and highlight any differences in support between platforms.
- Where features are not supported on Linux, provide workarounds or roadmap information for Linux users.
