Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. The only provided script for copying disk encryption keys is a PowerShell script, with explicit instructions to use Windows PowerShell. There are no Linux/macOS shell (Bash, CLI) equivalents or examples, and the script is referenced repeatedly as the required method for both initial replication and updating encryption settings. The documentation does not mention cross-platform alternatives or clarify how Linux users should perform these steps, despite Azure CLI and REST API support. Windows terminology and tools are presented first and exclusively in critical steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Azure CLI examples for copying disk encryption keys, or clarify how Linux/macOS users can perform the same tasks.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements for scripts and offer cross-platform alternatives or containerized solutions.
  • When referencing scripts, indicate whether they can be run on Linux/macOS (e.g., via PowerShell Core) and provide installation guidance if needed.
  • Add parity in troubleshooting and update sections by including Linux/macOS workflows.
  • Where possible, use REST API or Azure CLI as the primary example, or present them alongside PowerShell.
