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 paths and environment variables (e.g., %HOME%, D:\home\site\wwwroot) are used as primary examples, and references to Kudu DebugConsole and FTP upload methods are described using Windows-style paths. PowerShell is mentioned as an automation option alongside Azure CLI, but no Bash or Linux shell scripting examples are provided. The documentation does mention Linux app backup locations, but Windows patterns are presented first and more frequently.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS path examples (e.g., /home/site/wwwroot) alongside Windows paths in all relevant sections.
  • Clarify that Kudu DebugConsole and FTP methods work for both Windows and Linux apps, and show Linux directory structures where appropriate.
  • Add Bash or Linux shell scripting samples for automation, not just Azure CLI and PowerShell.
  • When referencing environment variables, include both Windows (%HOME%) and Linux ($HOME) formats.
  • Ensure that instructions for uploading files (e.g., _backup.filter) are clear for Linux users, including directory paths and tools.
