Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on the Key Vault VM extension for Windows, with all examples and explanations referencing Windows-specific concepts such as the Windows certificate store, Windows certificate store locations, and the use of the 'LocalMachine' and 'My' store names. There are no mentions of Linux support, Linux certificate stores, or Linux-specific instructions, indicating a strong Windows bias. Additionally, the documentation refers to Windows tools and patterns (e.g., ServiceDefinition.csdef) without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether the Key Vault VM extension is supported on Linux VMs within Azure Cloud Services (extended support).
  • If Linux is supported, provide parallel instructions and examples for Linux, including details on certificate store locations and management on Linux systems.
  • Mention Linux certificate management tools and patterns (such as using PEM files, OpenSSL, or system key stores like /etc/ssl/certs) where relevant.
  • Ensure that any code snippets or configuration examples include both Windows and Linux variants, or clarify platform limitations.
  • Update the description and introduction to reflect cross-platform applicability, or clearly indicate Windows-only support if that is the case.
