Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for key management tasks, but PowerShell examples are given equal prominence and detail as CLI, and are not clearly marked as Windows-only. There is no mention of Linux/macOS-specific shell usage (e.g., Bash), nor are there explicit examples for Linux/macOS users beyond Azure CLI. Some instructions (e.g., running CLI in Cloud Shell) note the need to modify commands for Windows, but do not provide Linux/macOS terminal examples or guidance. PowerShell is featured as a primary method, which may be confusing or inaccessible for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clearly label PowerShell examples as Windows-only and provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users.
  • When presenting multiple methods, list cross-platform options (Azure CLI, REST API via curl, Azure Functions Core Tools) before Windows-specific tools.
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for running Azure CLI commands in local Linux/macOS terminals, not just in Cloud Shell.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for platform-specific issues (e.g., authentication, environment variables) on Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure parity in detail and guidance for Linux/macOS users, especially for critical tasks like key renewal and deletion.
