Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. The default configuration in the Maven-generated pom.xml is set to deploy to Windows, with Linux deployment mentioned only as an alternative. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples or guidance, and Windows is presented as the default or primary platform for hosting the function app. Additionally, the documentation references Windows-specific patterns (e.g., defaulting to Windows in deployment), and Linux users are required to manually alter configuration files to achieve parity.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows options equally, both in configuration and in examples. For instance, show both 'runtime.os: windows' and 'runtime.os: linux' in the pom.xml example, or provide a clear side-by-side comparison.
  • Include explicit Linux-focused instructions and examples, such as deployment to a Linux-based function app, and highlight any differences in behavior or requirements.
  • Avoid language that positions Windows as the default or preferred option. Instead, use neutral phrasing or clarify that both platforms are supported equally.
  • Where platform-specific commands or tools are shown (e.g., PowerShell, Cmd), ensure that Bash/Linux shell examples are given first or at least with equal prominence.
  • Add troubleshooting or notes specific to Linux environments, such as file permissions, case sensitivity, or common issues encountered on Linux.
