Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific concepts and tools, such as certificate store locations ('CurrentUser', 'LocalMachine'), store names ('My', 'Root', etc.), and script formats (CMD/batch files in ANSI format). There are no examples or mentions of Linux equivalents for these features, nor are Linux-specific patterns or tools discussed. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment throughout, especially in startup tasks and certificate management.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux-based worker roles, including how certificates are managed and stored on Linux VMs.
  • Clarify how startup tasks should be authored for Linux (e.g., bash scripts, shell scripts), including file encoding requirements.
  • Document differences in environment variables, file paths, and role root locations for Linux versus Windows.
  • Provide parity in examples, showing both Windows and Linux approaches for common scenarios (e.g., remote access, diagnostics, startup tasks).
  • Reference Linux documentation and tools where appropriate, and avoid assuming Windows as the default platform.
