Summary
The documentation page provides extensive coverage of environment variables and app settings for Azure App Service, but exhibits several Windows-centric biases. Windows-specific paths (e.g., D:\home), tools (e.g., msbuild, Web Deploy/MSDeploy), and configuration references (e.g., applicationHost.config, IIS, w3wp.exe) are mentioned frequently and often before their Linux equivalents. Some examples and explanations default to Windows conventions, and certain sections (such as build automation and logging) provide more detail for Windows than Linux. Linux-specific options are present but less emphasized, and examples for Linux/macOS users are sometimes missing or less detailed.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux and macOS equivalents are mentioned alongside Windows tools and paths, especially in tables and examples.
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific examples and usage patterns where Windows tools (e.g., msbuild, Web Deploy) are referenced.
- When describing environment variables, list Linux and Windows paths side-by-side (e.g., D:\home and /home).
- Clarify which settings are platform-specific and provide parity in explanation and detail for Linux features (e.g., Oryx build automation, container settings).
- Add explicit notes or tabs for Linux/macOS users where workflows or troubleshooting steps differ.
- Review sections where Windows terminology (e.g., applicationHost.config, IIS, w3wp.exe) is used and ensure Linux alternatives or limitations are described.
