Summary
The documentation generally provides cross-platform guidance, especially for certificate creation and management, with clear OpenSSL (Linux/macOS) and Azure CLI examples. However, there are several instances where Windows tools (IIS, Certreq.exe, PowerShell) are mentioned as primary or alternative methods, sometimes before Linux equivalents. In automation and permission assignment sections, both Azure CLI and PowerShell are shown, but PowerShell is given a dedicated section. The export instructions for certificates reference IIS and Certreq.exe for Windows users, while OpenSSL is used for Linux/macOS. The FAQ and automation sections also provide both Azure CLI and PowerShell links, but PowerShell is sometimes listed first.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux/macOS tools (like OpenSSL) are always mentioned alongside Windows tools (IIS, Certreq.exe) and not as an afterthought.
  • When listing automation or scripting options, alternate the order between Azure CLI and PowerShell, or group them together as 'cross-platform options' rather than defaulting to PowerShell/Windows-first.
  • Where possible, provide explicit Linux/macOS GUI or workflow equivalents if Windows GUI tools (like IIS) are referenced.
  • Clarify in each section that both Windows and Linux/macOS users are supported, and highlight any OS-specific limitations up front.
  • If a Windows tool is referenced (e.g., IIS, Certreq.exe), provide a direct Linux/macOS alternative in the same context, not just as a secondary note.
