Summary
The documentation page covers environment variables and app settings for Azure App Service, which supports both Windows and Linux. However, there is a notable Windows bias: Windows-specific paths, tools, and terminology (such as 'D:\home', 'applicationHost.config', IIS, and Web Deploy/MSDeploy) are frequently mentioned first or exclusively, while Linux equivalents are sometimes missing or only referenced later. Some sections (e.g., build automation, logging, caching) provide more detail for Windows scenarios and tools, with Linux alternatives referenced but not always explained equally. Examples and explanations often default to Windows conventions, even when Linux is supported.
Recommendations
- Where Windows paths or tools are mentioned (e.g., 'D:\home', 'applicationHost.config', IIS, Web Deploy/MSDeploy'), add equivalent Linux paths or tools (e.g., '/home', Nginx/Apache, Oryx build, ZIP deploy) and explain differences.
- Ensure Linux-specific environment variables and behaviors are documented with equal detail and clarity as Windows.
- When listing environment variables, avoid defaulting to Windows-first order; consider grouping by OS or providing parallel tables/examples for Windows and Linux.
- Add explicit Linux/macOS examples where only Windows examples are given (e.g., for deployment, logging, caching, build automation).
- Clarify which settings are Windows-only and which are cross-platform, to reduce confusion for Linux users.
