Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all command-line examples given in PowerShell, references to Windows paths (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\system32), and instructions for editing the Windows hosts file and running Notepad as administrator. Windows-specific tools like Storage Explorer and Certutil are mentioned and demonstrated, while Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives are not provided. The workflow assumes the client machine is Windows, and Linux command-line usage is not addressed, even though Linux VMs are supported as deployment targets.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent command-line examples using Azure CLI (az) and Bash for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux (e.g., /etc/hosts) and using Linux-native editors (nano, vim, etc.).
  • Mention and demonstrate Linux-compatible tools for certificate conversion (e.g., openssl) and VHD upload (e.g., AzCopy on Linux).
  • Clarify that Storage Explorer and AzCopy are cross-platform, and provide installation and usage steps for Linux/macOS.
  • Show sample outputs from Linux terminals to illustrate parity.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users wherever Windows-specific steps are described.
