Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (such as Web Deploy and MSBuild) without mentioning Linux equivalents or alternatives. Visual Studio deployment is discussed without clarifying cross-platform support. There are no explicit Linux or macOS command-line examples, and some deployment scenarios (like Web Deploy) are implicitly Windows-centric. However, the use of Azure CLI and Bash Cloud Shell is cross-platform, and there is no heavy use of PowerShell or exclusive Windows command syntax.
Recommendations:
- When mentioning tools like Web Deploy and MSBuild, clarify their platform support and suggest Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., zip deploy, Kudu REST API, or Azure CLI).
- For Visual Studio deployment, note whether cross-platform IDEs (like Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider) are supported and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users.
- Add explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples where relevant, especially for deployment and troubleshooting steps.
- Where possible, avoid assuming the use of Windows agents in Azure Pipelines, or provide equivalent instructions for Linux agents.
- In tables and lists, avoid listing Windows-centric methods first unless they are the only supported option; otherwise, present cross-platform options with equal prominence.
