Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows methods for base64 encoding files, but the Windows instructions are more detailed and appear after the Linux example. The Windows section references Windows-specific tools (certutil, findstr) and requires manual header removal, while the Linux example is simpler. There is no PowerShell bias, but the Windows instructions are more prominent and lack parity in automation compared to Linux. All other steps use cross-platform tools (OpenSSL, Azure CLI, kubectl), but the Windows base64 encoding process is less streamlined.
Recommendations
  • Provide a more streamlined Windows example for base64 encoding, possibly using PowerShell's built-in Base64 capabilities for parity with Linux simplicity.
  • Mention cross-platform alternatives (e.g., using OpenSSL for base64 on Windows, or PowerShell's [Convert]::ToBase64String) to avoid reliance on certutil/findstr.
  • Ensure Linux and Windows instructions are equally detailed and placed side-by-side for clarity.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and kubectl commands are cross-platform and can be run on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
