Summary
The documentation presents both Windows and Linux options for Azure Functions deployment with GitHub Actions, but Windows is frequently listed first in examples, tabs, and instructions. Windows-specific tools and terminology (e.g., PowerShell, 'windows-latest', Windows templates) are prominent, and PowerShell is only supported on Windows and Linux, with Windows examples shown first. There is a slight tendency to prioritize Windows in structure and ordering, which may subtly reinforce Windows as the default or preferred environment.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples/tabs, or present Linux first in some sections to balance perception.
  • Explicitly state parity between Windows and Linux options where applicable, and highlight any differences or limitations for each platform.
  • Ensure that Linux-specific tools, patterns, and workflows are mentioned with equal prominence and detail as Windows equivalents.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify its cross-platform availability and provide Bash or shell alternatives for Linux users where relevant.
  • Add a summary table or section comparing Windows and Linux deployment workflows, highlighting similarities and differences to help users choose.
