Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific paths (e.g., D:\home\site\wwwroot) are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and the Kudu UI ZIP deploy method is explicitly unavailable for Linux. The use of PowerShell is presented as a primary method alongside Azure CLI, but PowerShell support is missing for several scenarios (with only CLI and API alternatives given). There is also a reliance on Azure portal navigation (Advanced Tools/Kudu), which is more familiar to Windows users. Linux-specific deployment nuances and parity in tooling are not fully addressed.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux and Windows paths and behaviors in parallel, not with Windows first.
- Clearly indicate when features are Windows-only and provide equivalent Linux workflows or alternatives, with step-by-step instructions.
- Where PowerShell is not supported, provide Bash or shell script equivalents, especially for Linux users.
- Include more Linux-centric examples and troubleshooting tips, such as using SCP, SFTP, or Linux-native tools for file transfer.
- Clarify differences in Kudu UI and API availability between Windows and Linux, and link to Linux-specific documentation where appropriate.
- Avoid defaulting to Windows terminology (e.g., drive letters, backslashes) in general explanations.
