Summary:
The documentation generally provides parity between Linux and Windows for most APM configuration steps, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. In several places, Windows-specific tools (like the Kudu console) are mentioned for Windows, while SSH is used for Linux. In the Application Insights section, the Windows example includes an extra app setting (XDT_MicrosoftApplicationInsights_Java=1) not explained for Linux. The order of presentation sometimes places Windows before Linux, and references to Windows tools and patterns are more explicit. There are no missing Linux examples, but the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-specific tooling and sometimes provides more detailed steps for Windows.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that all platform-specific steps are equally detailed for both Linux and Windows, including explanations for any extra app settings or environment variables.
- When referencing platform-specific tools (like Kudu for Windows), provide equivalent Linux alternatives or clarify if not applicable.
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in a consistent order (e.g., Linux first if targeting OSS audiences, or alternate order in sections).
- Explain any differences in environment variables or app settings between platforms, so Linux users are not left wondering about missing options.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools or commands (e.g., Azure CLI, FTP, or zip deployment) instead of platform-specific consoles.
