Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is presented as a primary development tool, but many advanced features (virtual networking, deployment storage, instance memory, always-ready instances, metrics, etc.) are unavailable in VS Code, which is cross-platform. However, the documentation does not provide Linux/macOS-specific examples or mention platform-specific differences in CLI usage, file paths, or deployment nuances. Powershell is included as a runtime, but there are no Bash or Linux shell-specific instructions or troubleshooting notes. Windows-centric tools and workflows (VS Code, Azure CLI, Azure Portal) are mentioned first or exclusively, and Linux users may encounter friction due to missing guidance for platform-specific issues (e.g., Python remote build note is the only exception).
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS shell (Bash/zsh) examples for common tasks, especially for zip creation, file paths, and environment setup.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS users (e.g., file permissions, case sensitivity, remote build requirements for Python).
  • Clarify that VS Code is cross-platform, but highlight any Windows-specific limitations or differences.
  • Provide parity in examples for Powershell and Bash, especially in scripting and automation sections.
  • Mention alternative Linux-native editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs) or workflows where appropriate.
  • Ensure that CLI commands and scripts are tested and documented for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments.
