Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: deployment examples and templates are primarily focused on ASP.NET (a Windows-centric technology), and the only explicit agent pool example for Web Deploy uses 'windows-latest'. The FAQ and troubleshooting sections reinforce that Web Deploy is only supported on Windows agents, without offering Linux alternatives or workarounds. There are no PowerShell scripts, but the overall pattern and tool selection (Web Deploy, IIS references) are Windows-centric. Linux deployment scenarios are not given equal prominence or detailed examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel examples for Linux-based deployments, especially for non-.NET stacks (Node.js, Python, Java).
- Explicitly mention and demonstrate how to use Linux agents for all supported deployment types, including any limitations.
- Where a feature is Windows-only (e.g., Web Deploy), offer alternative Linux-compatible deployment methods and document them with examples.
- Balance the initial examples and templates to include at least one Linux-first scenario (e.g., Node.js on Linux App Service).
- Clarify in the prerequisites and FAQ which features are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific, and link to Linux guidance where appropriate.
