Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias in several areas. The 'managedDependency' feature is explicitly stated as only supported for PowerShell-based functions, which are primarily associated with Windows environments. Several configuration examples and explanations reference Windows-specific tools, conventions, or environment variables (e.g., %TEMP%, LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA), and these are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. The documentation also references debugging and logging behaviors that are more common in Windows (e.g., file logging, Application Insights integration, Kudu performance counters) without equivalent Linux-specific guidance. Linux-specific notes (such as 'DisableColors' for console logging) are present but minimal and secondary.
Recommendations
- Provide parity for managed dependencies in Linux environments and non-PowerShell languages, or clarify alternatives for Linux users.
- When referencing environment variables or folders (e.g., %TEMP%, LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA), also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., $TMPDIR, $HOME/.local/share, /tmp) and how the runtime resolves these on Linux.
- Include Linux-specific examples and troubleshooting steps for logging, debugging, and file paths, especially for features like Application Insights, file logging, and snapshot debugging.
- Ensure that documentation for features like Kudu performance counters and file logging explains their behavior and availability on Linux, or provides alternatives.
- Where features are Windows-only, clearly label them as such and provide guidance for Linux users.
- Add more explicit Linux examples in sample configuration files and usage scenarios.
