Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows and PowerShell tools are consistently presented alongside or before Linux alternatives, and many examples and features are Windows-specific. Linux support is often mentioned as unavailable, limited, or planned for retirement. PowerShell examples are given equal or greater prominence than CLI, and Windows tools like Kudu and App Service Editor are described as unavailable or limited on Linux. Some migration and development scenarios are explicitly Windows-only, with Linux options missing or described as unsupported.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux examples and workflows wherever Windows or PowerShell examples are given, especially for plan migration, app settings management, and deployment.
- Clarify which Azure CLI commands and features work on Linux and provide Linux-specific instructions where behavior differs.
- When describing portal features or tools (e.g., Kudu, App Service Editor), note Linux alternatives or workarounds, and update feature matrices to highlight parity gaps and future plans.
- Avoid language that presents Windows as the default or primary platform; instead, structure documentation to treat Windows and Linux equally, or clearly indicate platform-specific limitations.
- Where features are unavailable on Linux, provide guidance or links to alternative approaches for Linux users.
- Regularly review and update documentation as Linux support evolves, ensuring Linux users are not left with outdated or incomplete information.
