Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell examples are given more prominence, especially in scripting the key release operation, with a full PowerShell script provided and no equivalent Bash or Linux shell script. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell, VC_redist, Windows-specific instructions) are mentioned before or in more detail than Linux equivalents. While Linux is supported and some Linux instructions are present, the scripting and automation focus is heavily on Windows/PowerShell, and Linux users are left to adapt the Windows-centric examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide a full Bash or Linux shell script equivalent for the Secure Key Release operation, similar to the PowerShell example.
  • Ensure that Linux instructions (e.g., for guest attestation, key release, certificate validation) are given equal prominence and detail as Windows instructions.
  • Mention Linux tools (e.g., curl, jq, openssl) for interacting with Azure services and parsing responses, not just PowerShell and Windows tools.
  • Where examples are provided, present both Windows and Linux versions side-by-side, or default to cross-platform tools first.
  • Clarify any OS-specific requirements or differences early in the documentation, and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
