Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by primarily referencing Windows-centric tools and workflows. PowerShell is mentioned as the command-line management option, with no mention of Bash, CLI, or Linux-native alternatives. The Kudu debug console is described as supporting PowerShell cmdlets and DOS commands, but there is no reference to Linux shells or commands. Troubleshooting tools like ProcDump (a Sysinternals tool) are highlighted, which are traditionally Windows utilities. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command examples, and Windows tools/patterns are mentioned before any Linux equivalents (which are absent).
Recommendations
  • Include examples using Azure CLI and Bash for managing and troubleshooting apps, alongside PowerShell.
  • Clarify that the Kudu console supports both PowerShell and Bash, and provide examples for both environments.
  • Mention Linux-native troubleshooting tools (such as gcore, strace, or lsof) where applicable, especially for memory dumps and diagnostics.
  • Add explicit Linux and cross-platform instructions for common tasks like restarting the app, collecting logs, and scaling.
  • Ensure that references to Windows tools are balanced with Linux alternatives, and avoid presenting Windows-first workflows unless justified by platform limitations.
