Summary:
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric: it only references the Key Vault VM extension for Windows, describes certificate handling in terms of the Windows certificate store, and provides no mention of Linux support or Linux-specific instructions. All examples and configuration snippets (such as certificate store location and names) are tailored to Windows environments, and there is no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Clarify in the introduction whether the Key Vault VM extension is available for Linux VMs in Azure Cloud Services (extended support). If not, explicitly state this limitation.
- If Linux support exists, add equivalent instructions and configuration examples for Linux, including how certificates are handled and where they are stored.
- Provide parallel documentation sections or notes for Linux users, including any differences in authentication, certificate management, and extension installation.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (such as 'certificate store location', 'LocalMachine', 'My') without Linux equivalents or explanations.
- Include links to Linux-specific Key Vault VM extension documentation if available.
