Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows container workflow examples using GitHub Actions, with clear separation via pivots. However, in several places, Windows-specific tools (such as Azure PowerShell) are mentioned alongside cross-platform tools (Azure CLI and portal), and Windows authentication patterns (publish profile, PowerShell) are described in detail. In credential generation and service principal creation, Azure PowerShell is listed as an option before Linux-native alternatives, and the publish profile workflow is rooted in a Windows-centric deployment model. The documentation does not exhibit strong bias, but Windows tools and patterns are presented on equal footing or sometimes before Linux equivalents, which may subtly reinforce Windows as the default or primary platform.
Recommendations
  • When listing authentication or credential generation options, mention Azure CLI (cross-platform) before Azure PowerShell (Windows-centric) to reinforce Linux parity.
  • Clarify which tools and steps are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific, especially in credential generation and deployment steps.
  • In the publish profile sections, note that this is a legacy/Windows-centric pattern and recommend service principal or OpenID Connect for Linux-first workflows.
  • Add explicit notes or callouts in the authentication and deployment sections to highlight Linux-native workflows and best practices.
  • Ensure that all example workflows and code snippets are presented with Linux-first ordering or with clear parity between Linux and Windows, especially in introductory and summary sections.
