Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows development environments, specifically Visual Studio on Windows. All examples and instructions are for Visual Studio, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives such as VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools, or CLI workflows. The 'Operating system' is set to Windows in the Function App creation, and publishing targets 'Azure Function App (Windows)'. Package installation is shown only via the Visual Studio NuGet Package Manager Console (PowerShell), with no dotnet CLI or other cross-platform instructions. There are no Linux/macOS-specific notes or parity guidance.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for developing and testing Azure Functions using VS Code or Azure Functions Core Tools, which are cross-platform.
- Include examples for creating and publishing Azure Functions using the dotnet CLI, not just Visual Studio.
- Document how to set the Function App OS to Linux, and discuss differences/considerations.
- Provide package installation commands using dotnet CLI (e.g., 'dotnet add package ...') alongside NuGet Package Manager Console.
- Clarify that the steps can be performed on Linux/macOS and link to relevant guides.
- Show how to publish to 'Azure Function App (Linux)' and discuss when to choose Linux vs Windows hosting.
