Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions and screenshots for Visual Studio on Windows, referencing Windows-specific artifacts, and omitting Linux/macOS equivalents. The sample walkthrough assumes the use of Visual Studio (Windows-only), and there are no instructions for developing, building, or deploying the sample on Linux or macOS platforms. PowerShell is mentioned as a tool for creating service principals, but Linux alternatives (such as Bash scripts or VS Code) are not highlighted. The Windows Update artifact is featured prominently, with no mention of Linux update artifacts.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and screenshots for cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and Azure CLI for building and deploying Azure Functions.
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all steps, including sample code, build, and deployment workflows.
  • Mention and link to Linux update artifacts or provide guidance for updating Linux VMs in DevTest Labs.
  • Ensure that examples for creating service principals include Bash/Azure CLI commands and clarify platform compatibility.
  • Add parity in sample code repositories (e.g., Python or Node.js samples) and reference them in the documentation.
