Summary
The documentation exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell examples are consistently provided alongside Linux, but Windows is often mentioned first in links and references. The instructions for enabling managed identities repeatedly link to Windows VM-specific guides, with no mention or links for Linux VM equivalents. The environment variable examples for Azure CLI and PowerShell are inconsistent: the Azure CLI example uses 'AZCLI' for Linux and 'PSCRED' for Windows, but does not clarify if 'AZCLI' is valid for Windows or vice versa. PowerShell is used as the default scripting language for Windows, with no mention of CMD or other Windows shells. There are missing Linux-specific instructions for enabling managed identities and for using AzCopy with Linux secret stores.
Recommendations
- Provide links and instructions for enabling managed identities on Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
- Ensure that Linux examples are given equal prominence and clarity as Windows examples, including shell and environment variable usage.
- Clarify the use of environment variables for both platforms, and explain any differences in supported values (e.g., 'AZCLI' vs 'PSCRED').
- Include notes about Linux secret store support for AzCopy login, and provide troubleshooting steps for Linux users.
- Consider adding CMD examples for Windows, not just PowerShell, to broaden accessibility.
- When referencing platform-specific guides, always provide both Windows and Linux options, or clarify when instructions are platform-agnostic.
