Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and workflows (IIS, Certreq.exe, PowerShell) are mentioned explicitly, sometimes without Linux equivalents or with Windows methods listed first. PowerShell is given as a primary automation example alongside Azure CLI, but Linux-native certificate management tools (beyond OpenSSL) and Linux-specific workflows are not covered. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows concepts and tools, and Linux users may find gaps in guidance for common certificate management tasks.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-native examples for certificate request and export, such as using OpenSSL for both certificate generation and export, and detail how to perform these tasks on Linux systems.
- When mentioning Windows tools (IIS, Certreq.exe), also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., OpenSSL, certbot) and provide links or brief instructions.
- In automation sections, include Bash scripting or Linux CLI examples alongside PowerShell, and clarify any OS-specific differences.
- Avoid listing Windows tools or workflows before Linux equivalents; instead, present both options in parallel or in OS-specific tabs.
- Clarify any App Service features or limitations that differ between Windows and Linux hosting plans, especially in the FAQ and outbound certificate usage sections.
- Expand the FAQ to address common Linux scenarios, such as managing certificates on Linux-based App Service plans or containers.
