Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence, and some advanced/bulk operations are only possible or documented for PowerShell. Several features (default documents, virtual directories, handler mappings) are explicitly described as Windows-only, with no Linux equivalents or workarounds mentioned. Some instructions and file path examples use Windows conventions (e.g., backslashes, D:\home), and there is little guidance for Linux users in these areas.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate platform support for each feature at the start of relevant sections, not just in passing.
  • For features that are Windows-only (default documents, handler mappings, virtual directories), provide explicit notes about the lack of Linux support and, where possible, suggest Linux alternatives or workarounds (e.g., using startup commands, .htaccess, or custom container entrypoints).
  • Where PowerShell is used for advanced/bulk operations, provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, or clarify if such operations are not supported cross-platform.
  • Use platform-neutral file path examples where possible, or provide both Windows and Linux path formats.
  • In sections where only Windows tools or patterns are mentioned, add Linux-specific guidance or links to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI) are presented before PowerShell, to reduce the perception of Windows-first bias.
