Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. File paths and environment variables are presented in Windows format (e.g., %HOME%, D:\home\site\wwwroot), and instructions for file exclusion reference Windows-style paths. The use of Kudu DebugConsole and FTP is described with Windows-centric paths. There is no mention of Linux shell commands or Linux-specific tools for managing files, and PowerShell is referenced as an automation option alongside Azure CLI, but no Linux shell scripting examples are provided. While the content does acknowledge Linux apps in some tables, practical examples and instructions are consistently Windows-first or Windows-only.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-equivalent file paths (e.g., /home/site/wwwroot) alongside Windows paths in all examples and instructions.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) commands for file operations, such as creating and uploading the _backup.filter file, in addition to or instead of Windows-centric instructions.
  • Mention and demonstrate the use of Linux-native tools (e.g., SCP, SFTP, curl) for file uploads and management.
  • When referencing environment variables, include both Windows (%HOME%) and Linux ($HOME) syntax.
  • Offer automation examples using bash scripts, not just PowerShell, to ensure parity for Linux users.
  • Clarify when instructions or features are OS-specific, and ensure that Linux users are not left to infer the correct procedure.
