Summary
The documentation provides platform-specific examples for generating derived device keys, with Windows/PowerShell instructions presented before Linux/openssl equivalents. The Windows tab uses PowerShell and .NET cryptography APIs, while the Linux tab relies on openssl and shell utilities. The Azure CLI example is presented first and is cross-platform, but the ordering of tabs and the explicit mention of PowerShell and Windows tools before Linux alternatives suggests a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Present platform examples in a neutral or rotating order (e.g., Linux first in some sections, or alphabetical).
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for CLI tools and highlight parity between Windows and Linux methods.
  • Include more details for Linux users, such as alternative methods (e.g., Python or other scripting languages) for key derivation.
  • Avoid language like 'On Windows...' and 'On Linux...' that may imply a primary/secondary status; use 'On Windows or Linux...' or 'On any platform...'.
  • Ensure that all code samples are equally detailed and tested for both platforms.
