Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific paths (e.g., D:\home\site\wwwroot) are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and the Kudu UI ZIP deploy workflow is described as unavailable for Linux, with no Linux-specific alternative workflow detailed. Azure PowerShell examples are provided for most deployment scenarios, but PowerShell is not supported for key Linux scenarios (e.g., deploying individual files or to network-secured apps), and this limitation is only briefly noted. The documentation frequently references Windows-centric tools and patterns (Kudu UI, PowerShell), while Linux-native tools or workflows (such as SCP, SFTP, rsync, or bash scripts) are not discussed or exemplified. Overall, Linux users are left with less guidance and fewer tailored examples.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific deployment workflow examples, especially where the Kudu UI is unavailable (e.g., step-by-step FTP/SFTP/SCP/rsync instructions for Linux apps).
- Ensure Linux paths and deployment nuances are mentioned first or equally alongside Windows equivalents.
- Include bash script examples for automating deployments on Linux, and reference Linux-native tools where appropriate.
- Clarify limitations of PowerShell for Linux scenarios and offer alternative approaches for Linux users.
- Add troubleshooting tips and best practices specifically for Linux App Service deployments.
- Where features/tools are Windows-only (e.g., Kudu UI ZIP deploy), offer clear Linux alternatives and document them in detail.
