Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell/Windows-specific instructions for obtaining a Bearer token (using ARMClient.exe), with no equivalent Linux/macOS examples or CLI alternatives. The use of ARMClient.exe (a Windows tool) is described exclusively and before any mention of cross-platform tools. There are no Bash, Azure CLI, or REST API examples for Linux users, and the documentation assumes a Windows environment for command execution.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as using Azure CLI (az account get-access-token) or curl to obtain a Bearer token.
  • Include Bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, curl, httpie) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
  • Clarify that ARMClient.exe is Windows-only and suggest alternatives for other platforms.
  • Ensure that all code samples and instructions are platform-agnostic or have parity between Windows and Linux/macOS.
