Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell are frequently referenced, with PowerShell scripts provided for key operations and certificate validation, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., VC_redist.x64.exe) mentioned. In several places, Windows instructions or tools are listed before Linux equivalents, and scripting examples are provided only in PowerShell, with no equivalent Bash or Linux-native scripting. While Linux is supported and some Linux instructions are present (especially for the attestation client), the scripting and automation focus is on Windows and PowerShell, leaving Linux users to adapt or improvise.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash or shell script equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for key release and certificate validation operations.
  • Ensure Linux instructions are presented alongside Windows instructions, not after them, and avoid listing Windows first unless there is a technical reason.
  • Include Linux-native tooling and patterns (e.g., OpenSSL for certificate validation, curl for HTTP requests) in examples.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for all binaries and scripts, and link to both Windows and Linux resources equally.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic language and examples (e.g., REST API calls with curl or Python) to demonstrate operations.
