Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily through its reference to Windows-specific tools (notably PowerShell's Get-AzAccessToken) for obtaining REST API access tokens, without mentioning equivalent Linux or cross-platform methods. The only guidance for authentication is via a PowerShell cmdlet, and there are no CLI, Bash, or Linux-native examples. This may hinder Linux users or those using non-Windows environments from easily following the instructions.
Recommendations
  • Include Azure CLI examples for obtaining the Bearer access token, such as 'az account get-access-token', which works cross-platform.
  • Add explicit instructions or code snippets for Linux/macOS users, e.g., using Bash and curl to make REST API calls.
  • Reference both PowerShell and CLI methods side-by-side when discussing authentication, ensuring parity for Windows and Linux users.
  • Avoid mentioning Windows tools (like PowerShell) exclusively or first; present cross-platform options together or in a neutral order.
  • Consider adding a dedicated section for Linux/macOS users, highlighting any differences or additional steps required.
