Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-based App Service plans as the only supported hosting option, explicitly stating that Linux-based plans are not supported. Windows tools and patterns (such as SQL Server Management Studio, MSI installers, and Windows Authentication) are mentioned, while Linux equivalents are absent. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based development, deployment, or SQL server hosting, and the prerequisites and setup instructions focus on Windows environments and tools.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether Linux-based App Service plans will be supported in the future, and if not, explain the technical reasons.
  • Add explicit guidance for users who want to develop or host on Linux, including any supported alternatives or workarounds.
  • Include examples for connecting to SQL databases hosted on Linux, such as using SQL Server on Linux or Azure SQL Edge.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Docker, VS Code on Linux/macOS) and provide installation instructions for non-Windows environments.
  • Mention authentication methods and connection string formats relevant for Linux environments.
  • If Visual Studio Code is the recommended IDE, clarify its cross-platform support and provide steps for Linux/macOS users.
