Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily in the section about assigning roles for Cosmos DB authentication, where it recommends using Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell and notes that the Azure portal does not support this operation. The code example for listing blobs is in C#, a language most commonly associated with Windows development, and there are no Linux-specific or cross-platform shell examples (such as Bash or Python). Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, C#) are mentioned, while Linux equivalents are absent. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of example commands or tooling.
Recommendations
  • Include Bash and/or Python examples for blob listing and other operations, alongside C#.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide example commands for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add instructions for assigning roles to managed identities using Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, not just PowerShell.
  • Where code samples are provided, offer alternatives in languages popular on Linux (e.g., Python, Node.js).
  • Avoid implying that Windows tools are the primary or only way to perform management tasks; present cross-platform options first or equally.
