Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. In the 'Static IP restrictions' section, access restriction examples and configuration details are provided specifically for 'App Service on Windows', including references to the web.config file and IIS dynamic IP security, with no equivalent Linux guidance. There are no Linux-specific examples or mentions of how to achieve similar configurations on App Service for Linux, nor are cross-platform differences highlighted. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., web.config, IIS) are mentioned exclusively, and Linux is omitted from these discussions.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent examples and instructions for App Service on Linux wherever Windows-specific guidance is given (e.g., how to configure IP restrictions on Linux).
- When referencing Windows-specific tools (such as web.config or IIS features), explicitly state their applicability and offer Linux alternatives (such as using .htaccess for Apache, nginx config, or App Service access restrictions via the Azure portal/CLI).
- Ensure that cross-platform differences are clearly documented, and avoid presenting Windows as the default or only supported platform.
- Add Linux-specific security configuration examples and clarify any limitations or differences in feature support between Windows and Linux App Service plans.
