Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All step-by-step instructions and screenshots are based on Visual Studio, a Windows-centric IDE, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives (e.g., VS Code, CLI-based deployment). The only code samples referenced are C# and PowerShell, both of which are traditionally Windows-first technologies. The walkthrough for creating a service principal lists Azure CLI, PowerShell, and Portal, but the rest of the guide assumes Visual Studio usage. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions, nor are there examples for deploying or developing the sample from non-Windows environments. The 'ApplyWindowsUpdateArtifact' function and artifact are Windows-specific, and there is no mention of Linux VM management or update artifacts.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions for developing, building, and deploying the sample using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, and/or GitHub Actions.
- Include Linux/macOS-specific steps for cloning, building, and deploying the Azure Functions sample.
- Offer examples of managing Linux VMs in DevTest Labs, including applying Linux update artifacts, alongside the Windows Update example.
- Reference and provide links to Linux-compatible tools and workflows, such as using the Azure CLI or VS Code for function development and deployment.
- Add code samples or walkthroughs for Python or JavaScript Azure Functions, which are popular and cross-platform.
