Summary
The documentation provides both Bash and PowerShell examples for all major steps, but PowerShell is given equal prominence and detail, which may reflect a Windows-centric approach. Some commands and instructions (such as file encoding notes and base64 encoding) include Windows-specific details or tools (e.g., PowerShell's ConvertTo-Json, Out-File, [Convert]::ToBase64String), and the use of PowerShell tabs throughout signals parity but also a strong Windows orientation. The troubleshooting and portal instructions reference the Azure portal, which is cross-platform, but the CLI examples and scripting guidance are heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, with no mention of Linux-specific nuances (such as file permissions, shell differences, or alternative editors). There is no explicit Linux bias, but the documentation does not address Linux-specific issues or provide guidance for Linux users beyond Bash commands.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit notes about Linux-specific considerations, such as file permissions, common editors (vim, nano), and troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
  • Include examples for common Linux shell environments beyond Bash, such as Zsh, where relevant.
  • Where file encoding is discussed, mention Linux tools (iconv, dos2unix) for converting between UTF-8 and UTF-8 with BOM.
  • In base64 encoding sections, reference Linux commands (base64) and clarify differences in output between Linux and Windows.
  • Review all steps for any implicit Windows assumptions (such as file paths, environment variables, or command syntax) and clarify for Linux users.
  • Consider adding a 'Linux troubleshooting' section for common issues encountered on Linux systems.
  • Ensure that PowerShell examples do not assume Windows-only environments, and clarify cross-platform support for PowerShell Core on Linux.
