Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, CSPack.exe, Microsoft Azure Command Prompt, Compute Emulator) and provides command-line examples only in Windows CMD syntax. There is no mention of Linux equivalents, cross-platform alternatives, or instructions for packaging/deploying from Linux environments. PowerShell and Visual Studio are suggested as deployment methods before alternatives, and configuration steps reference Windows UI elements (Properties page, Certificates tab) without Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and examples for packaging and deploying cloud services from Linux environments, such as using Azure CLI or cross-platform .NET tools.
  • Clarify whether CSPack and Compute Emulator are available or supported on Linux/macOS, and if not, suggest alternatives.
  • Provide command-line examples using Bash/Azure CLI alongside Windows CMD/PowerShell.
  • Mention cross-platform editors and tools for editing configuration files, not just Visual Studio.
  • Reorder deployment options to present cross-platform methods (Azure CLI, templates) before Windows-specific tools.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for each tool or method.
