Summary
The documentation page for Azure Cloud Services (extended support) WorkerRole schema exhibits a Windows bias. It references Windows concepts and tools (e.g., certificate stores like 'CurrentUser', 'LocalMachine', and store names such as 'My', 'Root', etc.), and startup tasks are described in terms of CMD/batch files with ANSI encoding, which are Windows-specific. There are no examples or mentions of Linux equivalents, such as PEM certificate handling or shell scripts for startup tasks. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment and does not provide guidance for Linux-based deployments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and documentation for Linux-based deployments, including how to handle certificates, environment variables, and startup tasks using Linux tools (e.g., shell scripts, .sh files, and Linux file system paths).
- Mention Linux certificate storage and management practices alongside Windows certificate store references.
- Clarify whether the WorkerRole schema and its features are supported on Linux-based Azure Cloud Services, and if so, provide parity in documentation for both platforms.
- Where file formats or encoding are discussed (e.g., CMD files in ANSI), include Linux equivalents and note any differences in requirements or behavior.
- Ensure that references to environment variables, file paths, and execution contexts are platform-agnostic or provide both Windows and Linux variants.
