Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell examples for certificate operations, referencing PowerShell and Azure CLI as alternatives but not providing CLI (cross-platform) examples. All step-by-step instructions for resolving issues are oriented around the Azure Portal UI, which is platform-agnostic but often aligns with Windows user workflows. There is a lack of Linux-specific or cross-platform command-line examples, and PowerShell is presented as the default scripting tool for automation, with no Bash or Azure CLI equivalents shown.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell for all certificate and Key Vault operations, ensuring parity for Linux and macOS users.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell examples are for Windows and offer Bash/Azure CLI alternatives for cross-platform users.
  • Where automation is discussed, include both PowerShell and Bash/CLI scripts to cover both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Review all troubleshooting steps to ensure that none assume a Windows environment or toolset by default.
  • Add a note at the beginning of the page clarifying that both PowerShell and Azure CLI can be used, and link to documentation for both.
