Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-centric tools and workflows, specifically targeting .NET and referencing the Azure portal UI, with all code samples in C#. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, non-.NET languages, or command-line alternatives (such as Azure CLI or PowerShell Core on Linux). The documentation uses terms like 'Windows Azure Service Management API' and does not mention Linux or cross-platform development explicitly.
Recommendations
  • Include equivalent examples using Azure CLI and/or REST API calls, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux.
  • Provide code samples in additional languages (such as Python or JavaScript) that are popular in Linux environments.
  • Mention that the Azure portal and Microsoft Entra ID are accessible from any OS, not just Windows.
  • Clarify that the .NET SDK and MSAL libraries are cross-platform and can be used on Linux and macOS as well as Windows.
  • Add a section or note on how to perform application registration and permission granting using CLI tools (e.g., az ad app create, az ad app permission add) for users who prefer or require non-GUI workflows.
  • Avoid using 'Windows Azure' terminology where 'Azure' suffices, to reduce the perception of Windows exclusivity.
