Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and APIs (such as the PFXImportCertStore function), providing configuration guidance and next steps only for PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool), and omitting Linux or cross-platform command-line examples. The documentation also references ARM templates, but PowerShell is emphasized as the primary method. There are no Linux-native instructions or examples, nor are cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI or Bash) mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell-based instructions, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Include Linux/Bash shell command examples for certificate management tasks (such as converting certificates to PFX using OpenSSL), not just references to Windows APIs.
- Reference cross-platform certificate tools (e.g., OpenSSL) alongside or before Windows-specific tools and APIs.
- In 'Next steps', offer links to both PowerShell and Azure CLI (and/or ARM template) guides for configuring end-to-end TLS.
- Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'use your preferred tool' or 'using PowerShell, Azure CLI, or the Azure Portal') rather than defaulting to Windows/PowerShell.
- Add troubleshooting and configuration notes relevant to Linux environments (such as file permissions, certificate storage locations, etc.).
