Summary:
The documentation references PowerShell and Visual Studio Code (VS Code) as alternative tools for managing device identities, both of which are commonly associated with Windows environments. PowerShell is mentioned explicitly, and VS Code is referenced with an Azure IoT Hub extension, which may be more familiar to Windows users. The 'Other tools' section lists PowerShell before REST API, which is platform-neutral. However, the main how-to instructions use the Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, and there are no explicit Windows-only command examples or screenshots. There are no Linux-specific tools or workflows mentioned, nor are there any Linux-first examples or troubleshooting tips.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit mention and examples of using the Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, including any OS-specific considerations (e.g., installation, permissions, shell differences).
- If referencing PowerShell, clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform and provide Linux/macOS usage notes or examples.
- Include alternative Linux-native tools or scripts (e.g., Bash scripts, curl commands for REST API usage) where appropriate.
- Balance the order of tool mentions in the 'Other tools' section by listing REST API or CLI before PowerShell, or grouping them by platform neutrality.
- Consider adding troubleshooting or environment setup notes for Linux users, especially for certificate management and CLI usage.
