Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows methods for base64 encoding files, but the Windows approach (using certutil and findstr) is described in detail and appears after the Linux example. The Linux method uses the standard base64 command, while Windows users are directed to use certutil and findstr, with manual steps to remove headers. All other examples (openssl, Azure CLI, kubectl) are cross-platform and do not show Windows bias. The Windows tools are mentioned explicitly, but Linux instructions are given first.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that certutil and findstr are Windows-specific, and provide PowerShell alternatives for base64 encoding if possible.
  • Consider providing a PowerShell example for base64 encoding, which is more modern and widely used on Windows.
  • Explicitly state that the base64 command is available on Linux/macOS, and that certutil is for Windows.
  • Ensure parity by mentioning that openssl, Azure CLI, and kubectl commands are cross-platform and can be run on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
