Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific diagnostic tools (ETW, ETL, Windows Device Portal) without mentioning Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. The examples and tool recommendations focus on Windows environments, and there is a lack of Linux or cross-platform guidance for diagnostics and performance tracing. This may hinder Linux developers or those deploying on non-Windows platforms from fully leveraging the documentation.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux and cross-platform equivalents for diagnostics, such as using 'perf', 'strace', or Azure Monitor's cross-platform agents.
  • When referencing tools like ETW or Windows Device Portal, also mention or link to Linux-compatible alternatives or Azure-native diagnostics that work across OSes.
  • Provide example commands or workflows for both Windows (PowerShell, ETW) and Linux (Bash, Linux tracing tools) where relevant.
  • Review all sections for implicit Windows-first assumptions and ensure parity in recommendations and troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements or limitations when a feature or tool is Windows-only, and suggest alternatives for other platforms.
