Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., Azure PowerShell, Windows-specific SQL Server VM integration), listing Windows-related examples before Linux equivalents, and omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform examples for secret management. Most service-specific links and guidance focus on Azure tools and workflows that are more familiar to Windows users, with little mention of Linux-native approaches or CLI alternatives.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples and instructions (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI, Linux file permissions) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Reference cross-platform secret management tools and patterns (such as HashiCorp Vault, environment variable management in Linux, or open-source secret scanning tools) where appropriate.
- Ensure service-specific best practices include both Windows and Linux scenarios, especially for automation, credential management, and integration guides.
- Add explicit guidance for Linux users on how to use Azure Key Vault and other Azure services from Linux environments, including sample commands and scripts.
- Balance references to Azure PowerShell with Azure CLI and REST API examples, which are platform-agnostic.
