Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools and workflows (Visual Studio, Windows Update artifact), providing examples and screenshots only for Windows environments, and omitting Linux equivalents or alternatives. PowerShell is mentioned as a supported implementation, but there are no Linux shell or cross-platform examples. The walkthrough assumes use of Visual Studio and Windows-centric artifacts, with no mention of Linux development tools or update artifacts.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux examples, such as using VS Code or CLI-based workflows for building and deploying Azure Functions.
- Include instructions and screenshots for deploying from Linux or macOS environments.
- Mention and provide examples for Linux VM update artifacts (e.g., apt or yum updates) alongside the Windows Update artifact.
- Highlight cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, VS Code) before or alongside Windows-specific tools like Visual Studio.
- Provide parity in sample code and walkthroughs for both C# and PowerShell, as well as Python or Bash for Linux users.
- Explicitly state support for Linux VMs and provide guidance for extending DevTest Labs with Linux-focused scenarios.
