Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias. In the section on generating test CA certificates, PowerShell scripts are mentioned alongside Bash scripts, but PowerShell is listed first, and the link points to a repository where Windows/PowerShell tooling is prominent. The examples for certificate generation and device key computation do not provide explicit Linux shell equivalents (e.g., Bash commands for Azure CLI usage), and there is no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows. The documentation references OpenSSL for key generation, which is cross-platform, but overall, Windows-centric tools and patterns are presented before or more prominently than Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Bash/Linux shell examples alongside PowerShell commands for certificate and key generation.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on both Windows and Linux, and show example invocations in Bash.
- Highlight Linux-native tools or workflows (e.g., OpenSSL, Bash scripts) equally with Windows/PowerShell options.
- Ensure that links to tooling repositories clearly indicate support for both Windows and Linux environments.
- Where scripts are referenced, specify which are for Windows (PowerShell) and which are for Linux (Bash), and provide usage instructions for both.
