Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias in the X.509 self-signed authentication section, where the openssl command is shown for Windows (PowerShell) before Linux (Bash), and the Windows command does not use any Windows-specific tools but is labeled as PowerShell. There are no exclusive Windows tools or patterns, and Linux examples are present wherever relevant. The Azure CLI is used for cross-platform command-line operations, and certificate handling instructions mention both Azure Key Vault and SCP (a Linux/Unix tool).
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows commands side-by-side or in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
- Clarify that the openssl command is identical on both platforms, and only the output formatting (e.g., sed usage) differs.
- Include explicit macOS instructions if there are platform-specific nuances.
- Avoid labeling generic openssl commands as PowerShell if they are not using PowerShell-specific syntax.
- Consider providing a table or section for platform-specific certificate handling tips.
