Summary
The documentation provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for migrating Azure Functions from the Consumption plan to the Flex Consumption plan, with clear separation between Windows and Linux workflows. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias: Windows examples and tools (such as Azure CLI commands, Kusto queries, and portal steps) are often presented first or in greater detail, and some migration steps (especially for Windows) require more manual effort and use Windows-centric tools. The Linux migration process is streamlined via the 'az functionapp flex-migration' CLI command, but the documentation does not always provide Linux equivalents for all Windows manual steps, and some advanced configuration or troubleshooting guidance is Windows-focused. In addition, references to PowerShell and Windows-specific deployment/storage patterns are more prevalent, and some examples (such as file share access and storage account details) are tailored to Windows.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all manual migration steps and troubleshooting guidance for Windows have equivalent, detailed Linux instructions (not just relying on the automated CLI command).
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which platform is shown first, to avoid the perception of Windows primacy.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting, advanced configuration, and recovery steps, especially for scenarios where the automated CLI migration may not be sufficient.
  • Reduce reliance on Windows-centric tools and patterns (such as file shares, PowerShell, and Windows-specific storage account settings) in examples, or provide Linux alternatives.
  • Explicitly call out any limitations or differences for Linux users, and provide workarounds or guidance where parity is not yet possible.
  • Expand Linux coverage in sections such as performance benchmarking, monitoring, and post-migration validation to match the depth of Windows guidance.
