Summary
The documentation generally provides parity between Windows and Linux, but there are several instances of Windows bias. Windows examples and concepts (such as IISNode, web.config, and PowerShell) are introduced first or exclusively, and some troubleshooting and Application Insights instructions focus on Windows or PowerShell without equivalent Linux or Bash examples. Windows-specific tools and patterns (IISNode, web.config) are explained in detail, while Linux equivalents (such as nginx or container startup scripts) are not covered as thoroughly. Some sections (like troubleshooting and Application Insights instrumentation) lack Linux-specific guidance or examples.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux pivots so Linux is not always second.
  • Provide Linux/Bash equivalents for PowerShell instructions, especially for Application Insights instrumentation.
  • Expand troubleshooting guidance for Linux, including common errors and configuration files (e.g., nginx.conf, Dockerfile).
  • Include more details about Linux hosting patterns (e.g., how containers are started, how to customize startup beyond PM2).
  • Where Windows-specific tools (IISNode, web.config) are mentioned, offer Linux analogs or explain why they are not needed.
  • Ensure all examples (especially in troubleshooting and advanced configuration) have both Windows and Linux variants.
