Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. The main example for performing the key release operation is provided as a PowerShell script, which is primarily a Windows-centric tool (even though PowerShell Core is cross-platform, its usage and idioms are more familiar to Windows users). The script includes Windows-specific checks and references, such as .exe files and certificate handling with .NET APIs. While Linux instructions are present for the attestation client, there is no equivalent Linux shell (bash) example for the key release operation, nor is there a demonstration using common Linux tools like curl or jq. Additionally, references to retrieving managed identity object IDs mention PowerShell before Azure CLI and other options. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, .exe binaries, .NET certificate handling) are mentioned and exemplified before or instead of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide a full Linux shell (bash) example for the key release operation using curl and jq, demonstrating how to obtain the attested platform report, retrieve the managed identity token, and perform the HTTP POST to Key Vault.
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux instructions are presented in parallel tabs or sections, with equal detail and prominence.
- When referencing ways to retrieve managed identity object IDs, list Azure CLI and Linux-friendly methods before or alongside PowerShell.
- Include examples of certificate validation using Linux tools such as openssl, rather than only .NET APIs.
- Clarify cross-platform compatibility of tools (e.g., PowerShell Core) and provide guidance for both environments.
- Avoid using Windows-centric terminology (such as .exe) without also mentioning Linux binary equivalents.
