Summary
The documentation page demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. While it covers both Azure CLI and PowerShell, there is a notable emphasis on Windows-specific tools, features, and patterns. Many advanced configuration options (such as default documents, virtual directories, and handler mappings) are explicitly stated to be available only for Windows apps, with no Linux equivalents or workarounds provided. PowerShell examples are detailed and prominent, and Windows terminology (e.g., references to IIS, D:\home paths, and applicationHost.config) is used throughout. Linux-specific behaviors are mentioned only briefly, and Linux parity is not addressed for Windows-only features.
Recommendations
- Clearly indicate feature parity (or lack thereof) between Windows and Linux App Service plans at the start of each relevant section.
- Where features are Windows-only (e.g., default documents, handler mappings, virtual directories), provide explicit notes about the absence of these features on Linux, and suggest alternative approaches or workarounds for Linux users if possible.
- Include Linux-specific examples and guidance, especially for common configuration tasks, to balance the heavy focus on PowerShell and Windows tools.
- Avoid using Windows-centric terminology (such as D:\home paths or IIS-specific concepts) without clarifying their relevance or irrelevance to Linux users.
- Add links or references to Linux App Service documentation or community resources for users seeking equivalent functionality.
- Where PowerShell is used for advanced scenarios, provide Bash or cross-platform CLI equivalents where possible.
