Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric tools and workflows (Azure PowerShell, Azure portal screenshots, references to Windows VMs) are presented before or instead of Linux alternatives. CLI examples are present, but PowerShell is given equal prominence, and there are no explicit Linux shell examples or screenshots. The SDK code samples use C#/.NET, which is more common on Windows, and there are no examples in Bash, Python, or other languages popular on Linux. The documentation does not mention Linux-specific hosting scenarios or provide parity in walkthroughs for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux shell (bash) examples for resource creation and management, especially for disabling local authentication and assigning roles.
- Include screenshots or instructions for Azure portal usage on Linux (e.g., browser-agnostic guidance, note that the portal is cross-platform).
- Provide SDK code samples in Python, JavaScript, or Java, which are popular on Linux, alongside C#/.NET.
- Mention Linux VM and container hosting scenarios when discussing managed identities, not just Windows VM.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and highlight its use for Linux/macOS users.
- Avoid presenting Windows tools (PowerShell, Windows VM) before Linux equivalents; offer both in parallel or alternate order.
