Summary
The documentation generally covers networking options for Azure Functions across hosting plans and platforms. However, there are several areas where Windows bias is evident: Hybrid Connections are only supported on Windows, and this is clearly stated. In automation and configuration sections, examples are given for Azure CLI, PowerShell, and portal, but PowerShell is a Windows-specific tool and is presented alongside CLI. There is a recommendation for subnet sizing that distinguishes between Windows and Linux, but Windows is mentioned first. No Linux/macOS-specific troubleshooting or tool guidance is provided, and the documentation does not offer parity in examples for Linux users (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux-native tools).
Recommendations
- For automation/configuration examples, provide Bash or shell script equivalents alongside PowerShell, especially for tasks that can be performed cross-platform.
- Where PowerShell is used, clarify that Azure CLI is fully supported on Linux/macOS and provide CLI-first examples.
- In subnet sizing recommendations, present Linux and Windows requirements with equal prominence, or list Linux first in some cases.
- For troubleshooting, mention Linux/macOS-compatible tools or approaches (e.g., using Azure CLI, curl, or other network utilities).
- Explicitly state when a feature is Windows-only (as is done for Hybrid Connections) and, where possible, offer Linux alternatives or workarounds.
