Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. Deployment methods are listed as PowerShell, Portal, and Visual Studio, all of which are primarily Windows-based, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native tooling. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples or instructions, and PowerShell is referenced as the primary scripting method. This may make it less accessible or intuitive for Linux users or those working in cross-platform environments.
Recommendations:
- Include Azure CLI examples and instructions alongside or before PowerShell, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Mention and provide examples for deploying Cloud Services (extended support) using Bash scripts or shell environments common on Linux.
- List deployment options in a neutral or cross-platform order (e.g., Azure CLI, PowerShell, Portal, Visual Studio) rather than Windows-first.
- Reference cross-platform tools and editors (such as VS Code) in addition to Visual Studio.
- Explicitly state Linux support where applicable and provide parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux users.
