Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell cmdlets (New-AzDataFactoryV2LinkedServiceEncryptedCredential, Set-AzDataFactoryV2LinkedService) and references DPAPI, a Windows-specific encryption technology. All examples and prerequisites assume a Windows environment, with no mention of Linux equivalents, cross-platform alternatives, or guidance for non-Windows users. The documentation implicitly prioritizes Windows tooling and patterns, omitting Linux support or parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, including supported tools and workflows.
  • Clarify whether DPAPI-based encryption is supported or available on Linux, and offer alternatives if not.
  • Mention cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) usage and any differences in behavior or prerequisites on Linux/macOS.
  • If the cmdlets or features are Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux users.
  • Include a section or note on how to perform credential encryption and linked service setup on Linux, or link to relevant resources.
