Windows First Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, referencing the Key Vault VM extension for Windows, Windows certificate store, and Windows-specific properties (e.g., 'LocalMachine', 'My'). There are no Linux/macOS examples, nor is there any mention of Linux support or equivalent certificate handling. All instructions and code snippets assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether the Key Vault VM extension is supported on Linux VMs or Azure Cloud Services running Linux.
  • If Linux is supported, provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux, including certificate store locations and access patterns.
  • Mention Linux/macOS limitations or alternatives if the extension is Windows-only.
  • Add a section explicitly stating platform support and any differences in usage or configuration.

  • Add Azure CLI examples for scaling and deployment operations, as Azure CLI is cross-platform.
  • Include Linux-specific instructions or screenshots where relevant, especially for environment variable configuration and deployment.
  • Mention Linux-compatible editors (e.g., VS Code) alongside Visual Studio for template editing and deployment.
  • Ensure that referenced quickstarts and guides include Linux tabs or instructions, not just Windows.
  • Reorder deployment options to list cross-platform tools (Azure portal, Azure CLI, ARM templates) before Windows-only tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio).
