Summary
The documentation exhibits moderate Windows bias. Windows-based build agents ('windows-latest') are used by default for C# and PowerShell examples, and Windows is the default platform for function apps unless Linux is explicitly specified. PowerShell is included as a first-class language, but Linux shell scripting is not equivalently highlighted. Windows deployment examples and slot deployment are described before Linux equivalents, and some features (like slots) are not supported or are being retired for Linux Consumption plans. There is limited guidance for Linux/macOS users outside of the YAML pipeline agent selection and a few Linux-specific notes.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows/Powershell examples, including shell scripting and troubleshooting steps.
- Present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side or in parallel tabs, rather than Windows-first ordering.
- Clarify platform limitations and provide alternative solutions or workarounds for Linux users where features are missing or being retired.
- Include explicit instructions for setting up and using Linux/macOS development environments, not just agent selection.
- Highlight Linux support for all languages where applicable, and avoid implying Windows as the default unless truly required.
