Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell command-line examples for scripting and automation, with no mention or examples of Azure CLI (which is cross-platform and preferred by many Linux users). The PowerShell sections are prominent and detailed, while there are no Bash, shell, or Linux-native instructions. The installation instructions and references are exclusively for PowerShell, and there is no guidance for Linux users on how to perform equivalent tasks. This may hinder Linux users or those who prefer non-Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for all scripting/automation tasks, including creating and managing managed identities.
- Include Bash/shell command examples where appropriate, especially for ARM template deployments.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide installation links for Linux/macOS.
- Structure sections so that Azure CLI and PowerShell examples are presented with equal prominence, or provide a tabbed interface for users to select their preferred environment.
- Reference Linux tools and workflows where relevant, and avoid assuming PowerShell is the default or only scripting environment.
