Summary
The documentation provides both Linux (Bash/Python) and Windows (PowerShell) examples for configuring the application health extension response, as well as Azure CLI, PowerShell, and REST API instructions for extension installation and querying. However, there are several instances where Windows/PowerShell examples are presented before Linux/Bash equivalents, and Windows-specific extension types (ApplicationHealthWindows) are used in sample code. PowerShell examples are detailed and prominent, and Windows tools/patterns (e.g., PowerShell HTTP server) are given equal or greater emphasis compared to Linux. The documentation does not omit Linux examples, but Windows bias is evident in ordering and tool selection.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/Bash examples before Windows/PowerShell examples, or alternate ordering to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Ensure all sample code and extension configuration examples clearly show both ApplicationHealthLinux and ApplicationHealthWindows types, or use a neutral placeholder.
  • Expand Linux-specific troubleshooting and verification steps (e.g., using systemd, firewalld, or other common Linux tools for endpoint setup and firewall configuration).
  • Explicitly state that both Linux and Windows VMSS instances are supported, and clarify any OS-specific requirements.
  • Where possible, provide cross-platform scripts or highlight platform differences in a dedicated section.
