Summary
The documentation provides both Azure portal and Azure CLI instructions, which are cross-platform. However, there are several subtle signs of Windows bias: Windows file paths and environment variables (e.g., `%HOME%`, `D:\home\site\wwwroot\`), references to Kudu DebugConsole (which is more familiar to Windows users), and FTP upload instructions using Windows-style paths. Linux paths and equivalents are mentioned but generally after Windows examples. The documentation does not provide explicit Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples for file operations, and Windows path conventions are used throughout.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS path examples alongside Windows paths (e.g., `/home/site/wwwroot/` instead of only `D:\home\site\wwwroot\`).
  • Clarify that `%HOME%` is equivalent to `/home` for Linux App Service apps.
  • Provide explicit instructions for uploading files using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., SCP, SFTP, or Azure CLI) in addition to FTP.
  • Mention that Kudu DebugConsole is available for both Windows and Linux App Service apps, and provide Linux-specific navigation tips if applicable.
  • Where file paths are referenced, show both Windows and Linux formats in tables or code blocks.
