Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell scripts for generating OAuth tokens and calling APIs, with no equivalent Linux/bash/cURL examples. The only command-line tooling referenced is PowerShell/Invoke-RestMethod, which is Windows-centric (though available cross-platform, it is not the default shell on Linux). The documentation also references the Azure Portal UI exclusively, which is more familiar to Windows users, and does not mention or prioritize Linux-native tools or workflows.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/bash/cURL examples for generating tokens and calling APIs, alongside the PowerShell scripts.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but also offer native bash/cURL commands for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include CLI-based alternatives (e.g., Azure CLI commands) where possible, not just portal steps.
  • Add a note or section on how to perform the same tasks on Linux/macOS, including any prerequisites or differences.
  • Ensure that examples and instructions are presented in a platform-neutral order, or alternate which platform is shown first.
