Summary
The documentation page for Azure Functions host.json is generally cross-platform, but there are several instances of Windows bias. The managedDependency feature is described as PowerShell-only, with references to Windows-centric dependency management. The snapshotConfiguration section refers to environment variables like LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA, and TEMP, which are Windows-specific, and the default temp folder path uses the Windows-style %TEMP% variable. Additionally, references to Kudu performance counters and the use of Windows-style environment variable conventions appear before any Linux equivalents. While Linux is mentioned (e.g., console log color suppression), examples and explanations tend to default to Windows tools and patterns.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS environment variable references and default paths (e.g., $HOME/tmp, /tmp) alongside Windows examples in snapshotConfiguration and tempFolder settings.
- Clarify managedDependency support for non-PowerShell languages and platforms, or explicitly state Linux/Unix alternatives if available.
- Mention Kudu alternatives or clarify its availability on Linux-based hosting plans.
- Ensure examples and explanations use cross-platform conventions (e.g., both %TEMP% and $TMPDIR), and avoid Windows-first ordering.
- Add more explicit Linux/macOS usage notes, especially for file paths, environment variables, and dependency management.
