-
-#### Create Certificate From Cer
-
-Previously, in `Microsoft-Azure-Batch`, to create a certificate, you could call the `createCertificateFromCer` method from the `CertificateOperations` object.
-
-```java
-Certificate cert = batchClient.getCertificateOperations().createCertificateFromCer("cerFilePath");
-```
-
-With `Azure-Compute-Batch`, you can call `createCertificate` directly on the client.
-
-```java com.azure.compute.batch.create-certificate.certificate-create
-batchClient.createCertificate(
-    new BatchCertificate("0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567", "sha1", "U3dhZ2randomByb2Hash==".getBytes())
-        .setCertificateFormat(BatchCertificateFormat.PFX)
-        .setPassword("fakeTokenPlaceholder"),
-    null);
-```
-
-#### Create Certificate
-
-Previously, in `Microsoft-Azure-Batch`, to create a certificate, you could call the `createCertificate` method from the `CertificateOperations` object.
-
-Method 1 (`createCertificate` takes in `InputStream` parameter):
-
-```java
-InputStream certStream = new FileInputStream("path/to/certificate.cer");
-batchClient.certificateOperations().createCertificate(certStream);
-```
-
-Method 2 (`createCertificate` takes in `CertificateAddParameter`):
-
-```java
-CertificateAddParameter certParam = new CertificateAddParameter()
-    .withThumbprint("your-thumbprint")
-    .withThumbprintAlgorithm("sha1")
-    .withData("base64-encoded-certificate-data")
-    .withCertificateFormat(CertificateFormat.CER);
-
-batchClient.createCertificate(certParam);
-```
-
-With `Azure-Compute-Batch`, you can call `createCertificate` directly on the client.
-
-```java com.azure.compute.batch.create-certificate.certificate-create
-batchClient.createCertificate(
-    new BatchCertificate("0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567", "sha1", "U3dhZ2randomByb2Hash==".getBytes())
-        .setCertificateFormat(BatchCertificateFormat.PFX)
-        .setPassword("fakeTokenPlaceholder"),
-    null);
-```
-
-#### Get Certificate
-
-Previously, in `Microsoft-Azure-Batch`, to get a certificate, you could call the `getCertificate` method from the `CertificateOperations` object.
-
-```java
-String thumbprintAlgorithm = "sha1";
-String thumbprint = "your-thumbprint"; 
-Certificate cert = batchClient.certificateOperations().getCertificate(thumbprintAlgorithm, thumbprint);
-```
-
-With `Azure-Compute-Batch`, you can call `getCertificate` directly on the client.
-
-```java com.azure.compute.batch.get-certificate.certificate-get
-BatchCertificate certificateResponse = batchClient.getCertificate("sha1", "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567",
-    new BatchCertificateGetOptions());
-```
-
-#### List Certificates
-
-Previously, in `Microsoft-Azure-Batch`, to list all certificates on the account, you could call the `listCertificates` method from the `CertificateOperations` object.
-
-```java
-batchClient.getCertificateOperations().listCertificates()
-```
-
-With `Azure-Compute-Batch`, you can call `listCertificates` directly on the client.
-
-```java com.azure.compute.batch.list-certificates.certificate-list
-PagedIterable<BatchCertificate> certificateList = batchClient.listCertificates(new BatchCertificatesListOptions());
-```
-
-#### Delete Certificate
-
-Previously, in `Microsoft-Azure-Batch`, to delete a certificate, you could call the `deleteCertificate` method from the `CertificateOperations` object.
-
-```java
-String thumbprintAlgorithm = "sha1";
-String thumbprint = "your-thumbprint";
-batchClient.certificateOperations().deleteCertificate(thumbprintAlgorithm, thumbprint);
-```
-
-With `Azure-Compute-Batch`, you can call `beginDeleteCertificate` directly on the client. It is also now an LRO (Long Running Operation).
-
-```java com.azure.compute.batch.certificate.delete-certificate
-String thumbprintAlgorithm = "sha1";
-String thumbprint = "your-thumbprint";
-SyncPoller<BatchCertificate, Void> deleteCertificatePoller = batchClient.beginDeleteCertificate(thumbprintAlgorithm, thumbprint);
-deleteCertificatePoller.waitForCompletion();
-PollResponse<BatchCertificate> finalDeleteCertificateResponse = deleteCertificatePoller.poll();
-```
-
-#### Cancel Delete Certificate
-
-Previously, in `Microsoft-Azure-Batch`, to cancel the deletion of a certificate, you could call the `cancelDeleteCertificate` method from the `CertificateOperations` object.
-
-```java
-String thumbprintAlgorithm = "sha1";
-String thumbprint = "your-thumbprint";
-batchClient.certificateOperations().cancelDeleteCertificate(thumbprintAlgorithm, thumbprint);
-```
-
-With `Azure-Compute-Batch`, you can call `cancelCertificateDeletion` directly on the client.
-
-```java com.azure.compute.batch.cancel-certificate-deletion.certificate-cancel-delete
-batchClient.cancelCertificateDeletion("sha1", "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567", null);
