Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While both Linux and Windows are referenced for the guest attestation client, the scripting example for performing the key release operation is provided only in PowerShell, which is natively a Windows tool (even though PowerShell Core is cross-platform, most Linux users prefer Bash or Python). Additionally, references to retrieving managed identity object IDs mention PowerShell before Azure CLI, and some instructions (such as VC_redist for Windows) are more detailed for Windows than Linux. The key release operation lacks a Linux-native example (e.g., Bash or Python), and the PowerShell example is shown without an equivalent for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide a Bash or Python example for the key release operation, showing how to use curl or Python requests to perform the HTTP POST to Key Vault.
  • When listing ways to retrieve managed identity object IDs, mention Azure CLI and Linux-native tools first or equally.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but also offer examples in Linux-native scripting languages.
  • Ensure parity in detail between Windows and Linux instructions (e.g., package installation, prerequisites).
