Summary
The documentation provides a mix of platform-neutral JSON ARM template examples and PowerShell scripts, but the only explicit scripting example for certificate enrollment is in PowerShell. The Key Vault VM extension is described as 'for Windows', and its documentation links and schema are Windows-specific. The 'linkOnRenewal' feature is explicitly noted as Windows-only, and troubleshooting sections reference Windows APIs (S-channel, CERT_RENEWAL_PROP_ID). Linux equivalents (such as Azure Key Vault Linux VM extension, Bash/CLI examples, or Linux certificate store handling) are not mentioned or demonstrated. Windows-centric tools and patterns (PowerShell, Windows certificate store, S-channel) are referenced before or instead of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI or Bash scripting examples for certificate enrollment and management alongside PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention and link to the Key Vault VM extension for Linux, and clarify any differences in behavior or limitations.
- Provide guidance or examples for managing certificates on Linux nodes (e.g., certificate store locations, permissions, monitoring).
- Where Windows-specific features are discussed (e.g., linkOnRenewal, S-channel), note Linux alternatives or limitations.
- Ensure troubleshooting and FAQ sections address Linux scenarios, including relevant APIs and certificate handling.
- Balance example order so Linux and Windows are equally represented, or clarify when features are Windows-only.
