Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions and examples for deploying Web Apps on Windows, with no mention of Linux as an operating system option. The 'Operating System' field is set to 'Windows' by default, and the App Service Plan is referred to as 'Windows Plan.' There are no examples or guidance for users wishing to deploy on Linux, nor are there any cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash, PowerShell).
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions and screenshots for deploying Web Apps on Linux, including selecting 'Linux' as the operating system and choosing a runtime stack available on Linux (e.g., Node.js, Python, .NET Core).
  • Use neutral terminology such as 'App Service Plan' instead of 'Windows Plan' unless specifically referring to a Windows-only feature.
  • Include Azure CLI examples for resource creation and management, which are cross-platform and can be run on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
  • Explicitly mention that App Service supports both Windows and Linux, and guide users to choose the appropriate OS for their workload.
  • If possible, provide a tabbed or side-by-side format for Windows and Linux instructions, ensuring parity in the steps and screenshots.
