Summary
The documentation page is largely cross-platform, with most examples using OpenSSL and Bash, which are standard on Linux/macOS. However, in the 'Verify certificate manually after upload' section, the PowerShell script is mentioned first as a method to generate a verification certificate, and Windows tooling (PowerShell) is given equal prominence to Bash/OpenSSL. The reference to 'the PowerShell script supplied by Microsoft' and the ordering of Windows tools before Bash/OpenSSL indicate a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
- List Bash/OpenSSL methods before PowerShell to reflect the prevalence of Linux/macOS in IoT and cloud development.
- Clarify that all methods (PowerShell, Bash, OpenSSL) are equally supported and available on their respective platforms.
- Explicitly mention platform compatibility for each script/tool (e.g., 'PowerShell (Windows), Bash (Linux/macOS)').
- Provide links or instructions for installing Bash/OpenSSL on Windows, and PowerShell on Linux/macOS, if relevant.
- Ensure parity in example depth and troubleshooting for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
