Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific deployment methods (Web Deploy) are described in detail, with explicit instructions to use Windows agents and references to IIS and web.config for Node.js on Windows. Linux deployment options are mentioned but not explored in equivalent depth, and examples for Linux-specific deployment methods (such as using Kudu or zip deploy) are missing. Windows agent selection is often shown first or exclusively in key examples, and troubleshooting sections focus on Windows agent issues. There is a lack of parity in examples and troubleshooting for Linux agents and deployment patterns.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux deployment examples, such as using zip deploy or Kudu REST API, and clarify when these are preferred over Web Deploy.
- Include troubleshooting sections for common Linux agent issues (e.g., file permissions, package paths, environment variables).
- When listing agent specifications, present Linux options first or equally (e.g., 'ubuntu-latest' before or alongside 'windows-latest').
- Add examples for deploying Node.js, Python, and Java apps specifically to Linux App Service, including configuration nuances.
- Discuss Linux-specific build and deployment patterns, such as using shell scripts, environment variables, and file transforms.
- Clarify which deployment tasks and features are supported on Linux agents and App Service on Linux, and highlight any limitations.
- Avoid language that assumes Windows as the default platform (e.g., 'If your agent isn't running Windows...' could be rephrased to address both platforms).
