Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform, using OpenSSL, Azure CLI, and kubectl, which are available on Linux, macOS, and Windows. However, in the section about base64 encoding, the Linux method is presented first, and then a Windows-specific alternative using certutil is provided. The Windows instructions require manual header removal or an additional command, which is explained. No Linux/macOS equivalents are missing, and the main workflow is platform-neutral. The only minor bias is the explicit mention of Windows tools and extra steps for Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that the Linux base64 command is also available on macOS.
  • For parity, mention that certutil is not available by default on all Windows editions, and suggest using PowerShell's [Convert]::ToBase64String() as an alternative.
  • Provide a PowerShell example for base64 encoding/decoding for Windows users who may not have certutil.
  • Explicitly state that all other steps (OpenSSL, Azure CLI, kubectl) are cross-platform and provide links to installation guides for each OS.
