Summary
The documentation is heavily PowerShell-centric, with all command-line examples using PowerShell cmdlets and .NET types. There are no examples using Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native tools for certificate management. The only non-PowerShell examples are for Python runbooks, but these are limited to in-runbook usage, not certificate management or upload. The guidance for uploading certificates outside the portal recommends PowerShell as the workaround, with no Linux/macOS alternative. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may not have access to PowerShell or prefer Azure CLI.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for certificate management tasks (upload, retrieve, delete) where possible.
- Explicitly mention if certain operations (e.g., uploading certificates) are only supported via PowerShell, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using Azure CLI, REST API, or PowerShell Core on Linux).
- If PowerShell is required, clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform and provide installation links for Linux/macOS.
- Include Bash/Azure CLI equivalents alongside PowerShell examples, especially for common tasks like uploading or retrieving certificates.
- Document any REST API options for certificate management for users who cannot use PowerShell.
