Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on deploying Windows containers, with all examples and instructions tailored to Windows environments. It specifies the use of 'windows-latest' build agents, references a Windows app as the starting point, and only demonstrates deployment to Windows-based App Service. There are no Linux container examples, nor mention of Linux build agents or App Service for Linux, despite Azure Pipelines supporting both platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for deploying Linux containers, including YAML snippets using 'ubuntu-latest' or other Linux build agents.
  • Mention and demonstrate how to deploy to App Service for Containers (Linux) as well as Windows.
  • Clarify in the prerequisites that the instructions are Windows-specific, or broaden the scope to include Linux scenarios.
  • Include guidance on how to adapt the pipeline for Linux-based .NET applications and Dockerfiles.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows options are given equal prominence.
