Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the order and emphasis of examples and tooling. While the core certificate generation steps use OpenSSL (cross-platform), Windows-specific tools and workflows are often mentioned first or exclusively. The Azure PowerShell example is provided in detail, with no equivalent Azure CLI (cross-platform) example. IIS (Windows) is listed before Apache and NGINX, and references to editing the hosts file link to Windows-centric documentation. The PowerShell script uses Windows file paths, and there is no explicit Linux or macOS guidance for uploading certificates to Application Gateway.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI examples alongside or before Azure PowerShell, especially for certificate upload and Application Gateway configuration.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific instructions for tasks like editing the hosts file and importing root certificates into the trusted store.
  • When listing web server configuration examples, rotate or randomize the order (e.g., sometimes start with Apache or NGINX instead of IIS).
  • Use platform-neutral file paths in code samples, or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS path examples.
  • Link to cross-platform documentation for tasks like editing the hosts file or importing certificates, rather than Windows-only resources.
  • Explicitly mention that all OpenSSL commands work on both Windows and Linux, and note any OS-specific differences if relevant.
