Summary
The documentation generally presents platform-neutral guidance, but shows notable Windows bias in the 'Server level (Windows apps only)' section. It exclusively describes IIS and web.config-based authorization for Windows apps, with no equivalent Linux guidance. Windows-specific tools (Kudu, web.config) are mentioned, and Linux users are told these options are unavailable, but no Linux alternatives or patterns are provided. Elsewhere, examples and CLI commands are platform-neutral.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux guidance for server-level authorization, such as how to configure access controls for Linux-based App Service (e.g., using .htaccess for Apache, nginx config, or application-level middleware).
- Explicitly state recommended patterns for Linux apps where Windows/IIS features are unavailable.
- Where Windows-specific tools are mentioned (Kudu, web.config), provide Linux alternatives or clarify how Linux users should approach the same tasks.
- Consider reordering or labeling sections to avoid presenting Windows-only solutions as the default or primary approach.
