Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, notably in the following areas: (1) The Kudu ZIP deploy UI is only available for Windows, with Linux users directed to use alternatives. (2) Windows file paths (e.g., D:\home\site\wwwroot) are mentioned before Linux equivalents. (3) The use of Windows-centric tools and terminology (such as PowerShell and references to Web Deploy) is present, while Linux-specific tools or workflows are not highlighted or provided as first-class examples. (4) Some features (like the Kudu ZIP deploy UI) are not available for Linux, and Linux alternatives are mentioned only as a workaround, not with parity in explanation or examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions and examples wherever a feature is Windows-only, including screenshots or step-by-step guides for Linux alternatives (e.g., FTP, ZIP deploy API).
  • Present Linux and Windows paths and workflows side-by-side, or in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Include Linux-native tools and commands (such as scp, rsync, or Linux shell scripts) where appropriate, especially in sections that currently only mention PowerShell or Windows tools.
  • Clearly indicate feature parity (or lack thereof) for each platform at the start of each section, and provide links to Linux/macOS-specific documentation if available.
  • Avoid using Windows-centric terminology (like 'Web Deploy') without also mentioning Linux alternatives and their usage.
