Summary
The documentation page on enabling end-to-end TLS for Azure Application Gateway is generally platform-neutral in its conceptual explanations. However, there are notable signs of Windows/PowerShell bias: (1) PowerShell is the only automation/configuration tool explicitly referenced for configuring SNI, and the only 'Next steps' link is to a PowerShell-based guide; (2) The only API reference for certificate format support is to a Windows-specific function (PFXImportCertStore); (3) ARM templates are mentioned, but only after PowerShell, and no Linux/macOS CLI (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash) or portal-based workflows are highlighted; (4) There are no Linux/macOS-specific examples or parity guidance.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples and references for configuring Application Gateway TLS/SNI settings, alongside or before PowerShell.
  • Provide links to documentation for configuring end-to-end TLS using the Azure Portal and/or ARM/Bicep templates, not just PowerShell.
  • Reference platform-agnostic certificate handling guidance (e.g., OpenSSL commands for creating/managing PFX files) rather than only linking to Windows API documentation.
  • Ensure that 'Next steps' includes links to Linux/macOS-friendly guides (e.g., Azure CLI, Portal) and not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify that all configuration steps can be performed from any OS using Azure CLI or Portal, where applicable.
