Summary
The documentation shows evidence of Windows bias, especially in the .NET and Python sections. Windows-centric tools like Visual Studio and Azure PowerShell are listed before cross-platform or Linux alternatives. In the .NET section, Windows tools are presented first, and Azure PowerShell is included as a primary option, while Linux-specific instructions are less prominent. Python examples reference Windows tabs and instructions, and the Next Step call-to-action is for deploying an ASP.NET app, which is typically associated with Windows. Linux-specific examples and parity are stronger in Java, Node.js, and PHP sections, but overall, Windows tools and patterns are prioritized or more visible in several places.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux and cross-platform tools (such as VS Code, CLI, Azure CLI) are listed before or alongside Windows-specific tools in all language stacks.
  • Provide explicit Linux examples and instructions for all stacks, especially .NET and Python, including bash/terminal commands and Linux deployment scenarios.
  • Avoid listing Azure PowerShell as a primary deployment tool unless a Linux equivalent (Azure CLI) is also presented with equal prominence.
  • Balance the 'Next step' call-to-action to include a Linux-friendly or cross-platform example, not just ASP.NET (which is often Windows-centric).
  • Audit all quickstart and tutorial links to ensure Linux tabs are present and easy to find, not buried under Windows defaults.
  • Highlight Linux container options and deployment patterns wherever custom containers are discussed.
