Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows and PowerShell usage. All examples and instructions are provided exclusively using Azure PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-specific tools (such as New-SelfSignedCertificate and Export-PfxCertificate), with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-compatible alternatives. File paths and certificate creation steps assume a Windows environment. There are no Linux or cross-platform instructions or examples, making it difficult for Linux users to follow the tutorial.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all resource creation and management steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Include instructions for creating self-signed certificates using OpenSSL, which is available on Linux and macOS, alongside the PowerShell example.
- Use platform-neutral file paths or clarify path differences for Windows and Linux (e.g., c:\appgwcert.pfx vs. ~/appgwcert.pfx).
- Explicitly state that the tutorial can be followed from Linux, macOS, or Windows, and provide guidance for each platform where steps differ.
- Add a section or callouts highlighting any platform-specific prerequisites or differences, such as installing Azure CLI or PowerShell Core on Linux.
- Consider reordering or parallelizing examples so that Linux and Windows approaches are presented side-by-side, rather than Windows-first or Windows-only.
