Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific paths (e.g., %HOME%\site), mentioning Kudu and FTP credentials without clarifying Linux alternatives, and linking to PowerShell-based cloning guidance as the only explicit next step. While Azure CLI is mentioned as an option for some tasks, examples and step-by-step instructions are either Windows-centric or omit Linux-specific guidance. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples, nor is parity established for Linux-based workflows or tools.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/Bash examples alongside PowerShell, especially for scripting and automation tasks.
  • Clarify that %HOME%\site is mapped to /home/site on Linux-based App Service plans.
  • Include references and links to Linux-native tools and workflows (e.g., SCP, rsync, Azure CLI in bash).
  • Ensure that next steps and deep links include both PowerShell and Azure CLI/Bash alternatives for cloning and migration.
  • Document any differences in Kudu, FTP, and file system access between Windows and Linux App Service plans.
  • Review all examples and instructions to ensure Linux users are equally supported and not required to adapt Windows-centric guidance.
