Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-based build agents ('windows-latest') are used by default for C# and PowerShell examples, with Linux agents ('ubuntu-latest') only mentioned for Java, JavaScript, and Python. Windows examples and terminology (e.g., PowerShell, Windows-based function apps) are often presented first or exclusively. The default deployment type is Windows, and Linux-specific instructions are sometimes secondary or require explicit configuration. There is limited discussion of Linux/macOS developer workflows outside of the YAML agent selection, and PowerShell is included as a primary language example, which is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Present Linux/macOS examples and agent options alongside Windows examples, not after or as an alternative.
- For C# and PowerShell, provide both 'windows-latest' and 'ubuntu-latest' agent YAML samples, noting any platform-specific requirements.
- Clarify cross-platform compatibility for all build and deployment steps, especially for .NET and PowerShell.
- Add explicit notes or sections for Linux/macOS developer workflows, including common tools and patterns.
- Avoid presenting Windows as the default; instead, show both Windows and Linux options equally.
- For PowerShell, mention cross-platform alternatives (e.g., bash, pwsh on Linux) and provide Linux-compatible examples where possible.
