Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows (PowerShell, Visual Studio) and omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Deployment examples and instructions reference PowerShell and Visual Studio, both of which are traditionally associated with Windows environments, without mentioning Azure CLI or other Linux-friendly tools. There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance, and the ordering of deployment options consistently lists Windows tools before more neutral or cross-platform options.
Recommendations
  • Include Azure CLI examples and instructions alongside or before PowerShell, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • Mention and provide examples for deploying Cloud Services (extended support) from Linux environments.
  • List cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI and ARM templates) before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio) when presenting deployment options.
  • Explicitly state that deployment can be performed from Linux, macOS, and Windows, and link to relevant documentation for each platform.
  • Where Visual Studio is mentioned, also mention Visual Studio Code as a cross-platform alternative.
