Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell (and AzureAD module) instructions for provisioning the service principal, with no equivalent CLI or Bash/Linux instructions. The use of PowerShell is assumed, and there are no references to cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI or REST API alternatives. This may disadvantage users on Linux or macOS, or those who prefer not to use PowerShell.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions using Azure CLI (az) for all PowerShell commands, especially for provisioning the service principal.
- Explicitly mention that the steps can be performed on any OS, and provide Bash or shell examples where possible.
- Reference REST API alternatives for automation, with example curl commands.
- Reorganize sections so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API) are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
- Add a note clarifying that PowerShell is not required, and link to cross-platform setup guides.
