Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows and Windows-specific tools (IIS, PowerShell, Windows hosts file editing) are often mentioned first or exclusively, while Linux equivalents are less emphasized or omitted. The Azure PowerShell example is provided in detail, but there is no equivalent Azure CLI (cross-platform) example. References to editing the hosts file and importing certificates are Windows-centric, and the 'devx-track-azurepowershell' metadata further highlights a Windows/PowerShell focus.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI examples alongside or before Azure PowerShell examples for certificate upload and Application Gateway configuration, as Azure CLI is cross-platform.
- When referencing hosts file editing, include instructions or links for both Windows and Linux/macOS.
- For web server configuration, ensure parity in detail and links for Apache, NGINX, and IIS, and avoid listing IIS first by default.
- Mention OpenSSL installation instructions or package names for both Windows and Linux, not just a general statement.
- Where screenshots or walkthroughs are provided for Windows tools (e.g., IIS), provide equivalent Linux examples (e.g., Apache/NGINX certificate import).
- Review metadata and custom tags to ensure they do not signal a Windows/PowerShell-only focus if the content is intended to be cross-platform.
