Summary
The documentation page for Azure Cloud Services (extended support) WebRole schema exhibits a Windows bias. The schema and examples are centered around IIS 7, ASP.NET, and Windows-centric concepts (e.g., certificate stores like 'CurrentUser' and 'LocalMachine', startup tasks using CMD files, and .NET assemblies). There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux-based web roles, tools, or patterns. Windows technologies and terminology are used exclusively and presented as the default or only option.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit notes about Linux support or lack thereof for Cloud Services (extended support) web roles.
  • If Linux-based web roles are supported, provide equivalent schema examples and usage patterns for Linux (e.g., using Apache/Nginx, shell scripts for startup tasks, Linux certificate management).
  • Mention Linux alternatives to Windows-specific features (e.g., certificate stores, environment variables, startup scripts).
  • Clarify which elements and attributes are Windows-only and suggest Linux-compatible approaches where possible.
  • Include cross-platform guidance or links to Linux documentation for similar Azure services.
