Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias, especially in the certificate/key vault steps, where only PowerShell commands are provided for key vault and certificate management. There are no equivalent examples for Linux users (e.g., using Azure CLI or Bash). The use of PowerShell is assumed, and Windows-centric tools and patterns (such as .cspkg packaging and RDP extensions) are referenced without Linux alternatives or guidance. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in critical steps.
Recommendations
  • For every PowerShell example, provide an equivalent Azure CLI (az) or Bash example suitable for Linux/macOS users, especially for key vault and certificate operations.
  • Mention Azure CLI and Bash as supported options in the prerequisites and throughout the guide.
  • Clarify that .cspkg packaging and RDP extensions are Windows-centric, and provide guidance or alternatives for Linux-based deployments if available.
  • Reorder or parallelize instructions so that Windows and Linux approaches are presented together, rather than defaulting to Windows/PowerShell first.
  • Add a note or section addressing Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences or additional steps they may need.
