Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias in the X.509 self-signed authentication section, where the openssl command is shown first for Windows/PowerShell, and the Linux version is presented second. The Windows command is labeled as 'Windows' and uses PowerShell syntax, while the Linux command is labeled as 'Linux' and uses Bash syntax. No Linux-specific tools or patterns are discussed elsewhere, and the overall flow does not prioritize Linux or macOS users. However, the Azure CLI is used for most examples, which is cross-platform.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows command examples side-by-side, or alternate which is shown first.
- Explicitly mention macOS compatibility for CLI and openssl commands.
- Provide guidance for certificate management and file operations on Linux/macOS (e.g., using scp, chmod, etc.), not just generic references.
- Include screenshots or instructions for Linux-based environments where relevant (e.g., Azure Portal on Linux browsers, CLI usage in Linux terminals).
- Clarify that all CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and provide troubleshooting tips for common platform-specific issues.
