Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows-specific deployment methods (such as source control, local Git, and FTPS) are called out as 'Windows-only' in the technology availability table, while Linux equivalents are either missing or less emphasized. Examples and instructions frequently reference Visual Studio and Windows-centric tools before mentioning cross-platform or Linux alternatives. Some deployment scenarios (like remote build) provide more detail for Windows than Linux, and Linux-specific requirements (such as setting environment variables for remote build) are described as exceptions rather than defaults. There is a lack of Linux-specific command-line examples, and the documentation often assumes the use of Windows-based development environments.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions alongside Windows examples for all deployment methods, especially for CLI usage and remote build scenarios.
- Ensure parity in documentation for deployment technologies that are available on Linux, such as Docker container deployments and remote build, with clear step-by-step guides.
- Highlight cross-platform tools (such as Azure Functions Core Tools and VS Code) before Windows-only tools (like Visual Studio), or present them together.
- Clarify which deployment methods are available on Linux and provide guidance for Linux users where Windows-only methods are mentioned.
- Include troubleshooting and best practices for Linux environments, such as handling dependencies and storage configuration.
- Avoid presenting Windows tools and workflows as the default; instead, use neutral language and structure to support both platforms equally.
