Summary
The documentation generally maintains cross-platform parity, but there are subtle Windows biases. Windows tools (Azure Storage Emulator) are mentioned before their Linux equivalents (Azurite), and some instructions (such as validating 64-bit architecture) are specific to Windows, with Linux users told to skip. The use of Azure Functions Core Tools CLI is cross-platform, but screenshots and examples often reference the Azure portal, which is platform-agnostic but may be more familiar to Windows users. There are no explicit PowerShell-only examples, but the documentation does not provide Linux/macOS-specific command-line examples or troubleshooting tips.
Recommendations
  • Mention Azurite as the preferred storage emulator for both Windows and Linux up front, not just as a note for Windows users.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples where relevant (e.g., installing extensions, running the function app).
  • Include troubleshooting notes or tips for Linux/macOS users, such as common permission issues or differences in file paths.
  • Where configuration steps differ by OS, present both sets of instructions side-by-side rather than telling Linux users to skip.
  • Ensure screenshots and instructions are inclusive of both Windows and Linux environments, or clarify when steps are OS-specific.
