Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific terminology and paths (e.g., %HOME%, D:\home\site\wwwroot) are used throughout, often without Linux equivalents or with Windows listed first. Instructions for file exclusion reference Windows paths and tools (Kudu DebugConsole, FTP to D:\home), and PowerShell is mentioned as a scripting option alongside Azure CLI, but no Linux shell (bash) or Linux-specific automation examples are provided. The documentation also references Windows-specific features (MySQL in-app for Web Apps (Windows)), and examples for file system access and backup filtering are Windows-centric. Linux equivalents are either missing or mentioned secondarily.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, including file paths (e.g., /home/site/wwwroot) and shell commands.
  • Include bash or shell script automation samples in addition to PowerShell.
  • When referencing tools like Kudu DebugConsole or FTP, clarify usage for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Ensure that all file system instructions (such as creating _backup.filter) include both Windows and Linux paths and methods.
  • Avoid listing Windows examples or terminology first; present Windows and Linux options equally.
  • Explicitly mention how backup and restore processes differ or are the same for Linux-based App Service apps.
