Summary
The documentation provides extensive PowerShell examples and scripts, including certificate handling paths using Windows conventions (e.g., C:\certificates), and relies heavily on Windows-centric tooling. While Azure CLI and portal instructions are included, PowerShell is often presented first and in greater detail. There are no Linux shell (bash) or macOS-specific examples, and certificate-based authentication is explicitly noted as unsupported on Linux VMs, but Windows patterns are still shown. The lack of Linux-native scripting or file path examples may create friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add bash shell examples for all major steps, especially for certificate generation, file handling, and key vault operations.
  • Include Linux file path conventions (e.g., /home/user/certs/mycert.pfx) in examples alongside Windows paths.
  • Clarify which steps are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, especially for certificate-based authentication.
  • Present Azure CLI examples before PowerShell when targeting Linux audiences.
  • Explicitly mention Linux prerequisites and common tools (e.g., openssl for certificate generation) where relevant.
