Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily by referencing Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI as the default credential sources, listing Azure PowerShell before other options, and omitting explicit Linux-specific examples or guidance. There are no examples of Linux shell usage, nor is there mention of Linux-specific authentication patterns or parity for credential precedence. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and does not provide alternative instructions for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell are cross-platform, and clarify any platform-specific differences in usage or installation.
  • Provide Linux shell (bash/zsh) examples for authentication and module publishing/restoring, including environment variable usage for credentials.
  • Include guidance for using Environment credential type with Linux, such as setting environment variables for service principal authentication.
  • List credential types in a neutral order (e.g., alphabetical) rather than prioritizing Windows tools.
  • Reference Linux-native editors and authentication flows (e.g., VS Code on Linux, SSH-based authentication) where relevant.
  • Add a section or note highlighting Linux support and any caveats or best practices for Linux users.
