Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions and examples are provided exclusively for Windows, using PowerShell commands and Windows-specific paths. There is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives, and the prerequisites explicitly require a Windows client. The Azure Stack Hub Readiness Checker tool is only referenced as being installed via the PowerShell Gallery, with no indication of Linux compatibility or usage.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether the Azure Stack Hub Readiness Checker tool is available for Linux or cross-platform use. If not, state this limitation explicitly.
  • If the tool is Windows-only, suggest alternative methods or tools for Linux users to generate CSRs and manage certificates, or provide a roadmap for cross-platform support.
  • If the tool is cross-platform, provide equivalent Linux instructions, including installation steps (e.g., via pip, apt, or other package managers), command-line examples using bash or compatible shells, and Linux file paths.
  • Include a note in the prerequisites section about supported operating systems, and, if possible, remove the hard requirement for Windows if cross-platform support exists.
  • Provide sample scripts and usage instructions for Linux environments, ensuring parity with the PowerShell examples.
