Summary
The documentation provides both Azure portal and Azure CLI instructions, which are cross-platform. However, there are several subtle Windows biases: Windows path patterns (e.g., `%HOME%`, `D:\home\site\wwwroot\`), references to Kudu DebugConsole (which is more familiar to Windows users), and the use of Windows-style paths in backup filter examples. PowerShell is mentioned alongside Azure CLI for scripting, but no Bash or Linux shell scripting samples are linked. Windows path conventions and terminology are often presented first or exclusively, with Linux equivalents only briefly mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS path examples (e.g., `/home/site/wwwroot/`) alongside Windows paths.
  • Provide Bash/Linux shell scripting samples in the 'Automate with scripts' section, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify that Kudu DebugConsole is available for both Windows and Linux App Service apps.
  • Where `%HOME%` is referenced, add a note that Linux apps use `/home`.
  • In backup filter examples, show both Windows and Linux path formats.
  • Ensure that instructions for uploading files (e.g., via FTP) mention Linux-compatible tools and paths.
