Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Many features (default documents, virtual directory mapping, handler mappings) are explicitly stated as Windows-only, with no Linux alternatives or workarounds suggested. Examples and terminology (such as IIS, D:\home paths, and PowerShell cmdlets) are Windows-centric. In sections where both Windows and Linux are supported, Windows-specific patterns (like .NET config files) are mentioned first or exclusively. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples or explanations for equivalent functionality, especially for advanced configuration scenarios.
Recommendations
- Clearly indicate feature parity and limitations for Linux and Windows throughout the documentation, especially at the start of each section.
- For Windows-only features (default documents, handler mappings, virtual directories), suggest Linux alternatives or provide guidance for achieving similar outcomes (e.g., using startup commands, web server config files like nginx.conf, or Dockerfile ENTRYPOINT/CMD for custom containers).
- Add Linux-specific examples and command-line patterns where applicable, such as showing how to configure environment variables, default documents, or directory mappings in Linux-based App Service apps.
- Avoid using Windows-centric terminology (IIS, D:\home paths) without Linux equivalents or explanations.
- Where PowerShell is used, provide Bash or shell script equivalents for Linux users, especially for bulk editing and advanced configuration.
- Consider reordering sections or examples so that Linux and cross-platform approaches are presented before or alongside Windows-specific instructions.
