Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation provides detailed migration steps for both Linux and Windows Azure Functions Consumption plan apps, but there is a noticeable Windows bias. Windows (and Windows-style tools) are often presented first, with more exhaustive step-by-step instructions, especially in the 'platform-windows' pivots. Many CLI examples and scripts use Windows-centric patterns (e.g., PowerShell/bash scripts with az CLI, references to Windows-specific storage/file share settings). The Linux migration process is described as more automated (via az functionapp flex-migration), but the Windows process is more manual and verbose, with more granular configuration steps. In some sections, Linux examples are missing or less detailed, and Windows tools and patterns (such as file share locations, deployment slots, and authentication) are described in greater depth or appear before their Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and Windows sections are equally detailed, especially in manual migration steps. For example, provide Linux equivalents for all CLI scripts and portal walkthroughs.
- Avoid presenting Windows-first in pivoted sections; alternate the order or explicitly state parity.
- Where Windows-specific tools or patterns are described (e.g., file share locations, deployment slots), provide clear Linux alternatives or note differences up-front.
- Expand Linux migration guidance to include troubleshooting, manual configuration, and recovery steps at the same level of detail as Windows.
- Audit all CLI and script examples for OS-specific assumptions, and provide Linux shell (bash/zsh) and Windows PowerShell versions where appropriate.
- Add a summary table comparing migration steps and requirements for both platforms, highlighting any differences or limitations.
