Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell instructions for provisioning the service principal, without mentioning or offering equivalent CLI or scripting options for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash). The installation and usage instructions are tailored to PowerShell, which is natively available on Windows and less commonly used on Linux. No Linux-specific tools, shell commands, or cross-platform alternatives are presented, and the Windows-centric approach is evident in the ordering and exclusivity of examples.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell commands for provisioning the service principal, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Include Bash shell script equivalents for steps involving authentication and service principal creation.
  • Explicitly mention that steps can be performed on Linux/macOS and provide guidance for those environments.
  • Where PowerShell modules are referenced, note installation and usage differences for Linux/macOS (e.g., using PowerShell Core).
  • Review all command-line instructions to ensure parity and accessibility for non-Windows users.
