Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for base64 encoding, but the Windows-specific tool (certutil) is mentioned separately and with additional manual steps. The Linux example (base64) is presented first, but Windows users are given a distinct workflow. No PowerShell or Windows-first examples dominate, and the main certificate generation and rotation steps are cross-platform. The bias is minor and limited to the encoding step.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that certutil is available on Windows by default, and suggest alternative cross-platform tools (e.g., OpenSSL or Python) for base64 encoding.
  • Provide a PowerShell example for base64 encoding as an additional option for Windows users.
  • Explicitly state that all other steps (openssl, az CLI, kubectl) work identically on Windows, Linux, and macOS, to reassure non-Windows users.
  • Consider grouping encoding instructions by OS for clarity, or provide a table summarizing encoding commands for Linux, Windows (certutil), and macOS.
