Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell scripts for critical steps such as creating self-signed certificates and generating random keys, without offering equivalent Linux/macOS commands or guidance. The use of PowerShell and references to Visual Studio (a Windows-centric tool) further reinforce this bias, making it less accessible for users on Linux or macOS platforms.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash/OpenSSL commands for creating self-signed certificates and generating random strings, ensuring Linux and macOS users can follow the tutorial.
- Include explicit notes or sections for cross-platform compatibility, clarifying how each step can be performed on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Mention and demonstrate the use of cross-platform tools (such as VS Code, Azure CLI, or OpenSSL) alongside Windows-specific tools like PowerShell and Visual Studio.
- Where PowerShell is used, offer alternative scripts or command-line instructions for Bash/zsh.
- Review all steps for hidden Windows assumptions (e.g., file paths, certificate stores) and document Linux/macOS equivalents.
