Summary
The documentation for Azure Cloud Services (extended support) WebRole schema exhibits a Windows bias. It consistently references Windows technologies (IIS 7, ASP.NET, .NET Framework), Windows-specific concepts (certificate stores like 'CurrentUser' and 'LocalMachine'), and Windows file formats (CMD, batch files in ANSI format). There are no Linux equivalents or examples provided, nor is there any mention of Linux-based deployment, configuration, or runtime environments. The documentation assumes the reader is working in a Windows context and does not address cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add explicit notes about Linux support or lack thereof for WebRole, including any limitations or alternatives.
- Provide examples or guidance for deploying web applications using Linux-based runtimes (e.g., Apache, Nginx) if supported.
- Include information about certificate management on Linux (e.g., using PEM files, OpenSSL, or Linux certificate stores) where applicable.
- Clarify how startup tasks and scripts should be formatted and executed on Linux (e.g., using Bash scripts instead of CMD/batch files).
- Reference cross-platform .NET (Core/6+) options and how they differ from classic .NET Framework deployments.
- If WebRole is Windows-only, state this clearly at the beginning and suggest Linux alternatives (such as Azure App Service for Linux or Azure Virtual Machines with Linux).
