Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. In the X.509 self-signed authentication section, the openssl command is presented first for Windows (PowerShell), then for Linux (Bash), with the Windows example given priority. The Linux example is present but is less detailed (uses sed to remove colons). There are no explicit Linux-only tools or patterns mentioned, and most CLI examples use Azure CLI, which is cross-platform. However, there is a slight tendency to present Windows commands or patterns first and with more detail.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows command examples side-by-side, or in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
- Ensure equal detail and explanation for both Windows and Linux command examples.
- Where possible, use platform-neutral commands or clarify any platform-specific differences.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and other tools are cross-platform and provide installation links for both Windows and Linux.
- Consider adding troubleshooting notes for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, certificate paths) to match any Windows-specific guidance.
