Summary
The documentation page demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the 'For testing purposes only' section, where PowerShell scripts are mentioned before Bash scripts for certificate generation. Windows-oriented tools (PowerShell) are referenced explicitly, and while Bash is also mentioned, the ordering and emphasis favor Windows. There are no explicit Linux-only examples, and the Azure CLI (cross-platform) is used elsewhere, but Windows patterns (PowerShell) are given prominence in key areas.
Recommendations
- Ensure that Bash and Linux tools/scripts are mentioned and demonstrated with equal prominence and ordering as PowerShell equivalents.
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples for certificate generation and device authentication, not just mention Bash scripts.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., OpenSSL, Azure CLI) in examples and highlight their usage on both Windows and Linux.
- Add a section or callouts for Linux/macOS users, clarifying any platform-specific steps or differences.
- Review all sample code and utilities to ensure parity between Windows and Linux, and avoid defaulting to Windows-first patterns.
