Summary
The documentation page provides detailed instructions for using the Azure Portal and PowerShell (specifically Azure PowerShell) to add user assigned managed identities to virtual machines. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, such as using Azure CLI or Bash scripts. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its exclusive use in command-line examples demonstrates a Windows bias. Additionally, the lack of mention or prioritization of cross-platform tools like Azure CLI further reinforces this bias.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell commands, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Include Bash script snippets for Linux users where appropriate.
- Explicitly mention that both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI can be used, and provide links to relevant CLI documentation.
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI) are presented before or alongside PowerShell examples.
- Clarify that the steps are applicable regardless of OS, and avoid implying that PowerShell is the default or only option.
