Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias primarily in the 'Hybrid Connections' section, where the only supported relay agent (Hybrid Connection Manager) is specified as requiring 'Windows Server 2012 or newer.' There are no Linux equivalents or instructions for Linux-based environments. Additionally, the 'Gateway-required virtual network integration' feature is stated as 'limited to App Service Windows plans,' with no Linux alternative or parity discussed. Throughout the document, there are no platform-specific command-line examples, but when platform limitations are mentioned, Windows is prioritized or exclusively supported.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit information about Linux support or alternatives for Hybrid Connections (e.g., clarify if a Linux agent exists or is planned, or suggest alternative connectivity options for Linux-based apps).
- For features limited to Windows (such as gateway-required VNet integration), clearly state the lack of Linux support and, if possible, provide workarounds or alternative approaches for Linux users.
- Where platform-specific tools or agents are required, include parity tables or cross-platform guidance to help Linux users achieve similar functionality.
- Consider adding Linux-focused examples or notes throughout the documentation to ensure equal clarity for both Windows and Linux deployment scenarios.
