Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell command examples for certificate management, omitting equivalent Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash examples. The troubleshooting steps and automation guidance focus on PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux or cross-platform workflows, and the use of PowerShell is presented as the default or only option for scripting and automation.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell for all certificate management and troubleshooting tasks.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands can be run on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide Bash script examples where appropriate.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify that it is available cross-platform, but also offer Bash/CLI alternatives to ensure Linux users are not excluded.
  • Review all automation and scripting guidance to ensure parity between Windows and Linux tooling, and avoid presenting Windows tools as the default.
  • Include a section or note highlighting cross-platform support and linking to relevant Azure CLI documentation.
