Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Examples and instructions frequently prioritize Windows tools (PowerShell, Windows-specific features) and omit or limit Linux-specific guidance. Many advanced features (Kudu, App Service editor, console) are unavailable or unsupported on Linux. Migration instructions and development limitations are often Windows-centric, with Linux options described as limited or deprecated. PowerShell examples are given equal or greater prominence than Azure CLI, and some features (like in-portal editing and plan migration) are explicitly Windows-only or have restricted Linux support.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples and workflows alongside Windows instructions, especially for advanced management and migration tasks.
- Clearly indicate feature parity and limitations for Linux users at the beginning of each relevant section.
- Offer alternative Linux-compatible tools or scripts where Windows tools (PowerShell, Kudu, App Service editor) are unavailable.
- Update or expand CLI examples to cover Linux-specific scenarios, and ensure CLI instructions are not implicitly Windows-centric.
- Document workarounds or best practices for Linux users where features are missing or deprecated.
- Regularly review and update documentation as Linux support changes (e.g., Flex Consumption plan, retirement of Linux Consumption plan).
