Summary
The documentation page provides comprehensive coverage of environment variables and app settings for Azure App Service, but there is a noticeable Windows bias. Many examples and descriptions reference Windows paths (e.g., D:\home), Windows-specific tools (e.g., msbuild, Web Deploy/MSDeploy), and Windows conventions before Linux equivalents. Several environment variables and settings are described primarily in the context of Windows, with Linux details often appearing as secondary notes or omitted. Some sections (e.g., build automation, logging, TLS/SSL paths) focus on Windows tools and patterns, with Linux alternatives given less prominence or missing entirely.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and macOS examples are provided alongside Windows examples, especially for environment variable paths, deployment, and logging.
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or use tabs to separate platform-specific guidance, rather than listing Windows first.
- Where Windows tools (e.g., msbuild, Web Deploy/MSDeploy) are mentioned, include Linux-native alternatives (e.g., Oryx, zip deploy, relevant CLI commands) and clarify platform applicability.
- Expand documentation of Linux-specific environment variables and behaviors, especially for logging, TLS/SSL, and build automation.
- Review all examples and default values to ensure Linux paths (e.g., /home/site/wwwroot) are shown as often as Windows paths (e.g., D:\home\site\wwwroot).
