Summary
The documentation shows a mild Windows bias. In the X.509 self-signed authentication section, the openssl command is presented first for Windows (PowerShell), then for Linux (Bash), with the Windows example not using any platform-specific syntax but being labeled as PowerShell. The Linux example adds a sed command to remove colons, which is not explained for Windows users. There are no explicit Linux tool recommendations or parity in file movement examples (e.g., Azure Key Vault and SCP are mentioned, but not platform-specific guidance). The rest of the documentation is generally cross-platform, using Azure CLI and language SDKs, but Windows is subtly prioritized in example ordering and labeling.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side, or alternate which platform is shown first.
  • Clarify that the openssl command works on both platforms, and explain any differences (such as the need for sed on Linux).
  • Provide explicit file movement examples for both Windows (e.g., WinSCP, robocopy) and Linux (e.g., scp, rsync) when discussing certificate transfer.
  • Avoid labeling generic commands as 'PowerShell' unless they use PowerShell-specific syntax.
  • Add a note or table summarizing platform differences for key steps, especially where commands or tools differ.
