Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All command-line examples for creating a service principal are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with explicit instructions to use PowerShell and Windows-specific commands (e.g., Set-ExecutionPolicy). There are no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform examples for Linux or macOS users. The prerequisites also only mention installing Azure PowerShell, omitting Azure CLI or other cross-platform tools. This may hinder Linux/macOS users or those preferring non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell scripts, especially for service principal creation and authentication steps.
- Include instructions for running scripts on Linux/macOS, such as using Bash or sh, and remove or supplement Windows-specific commands like Set-ExecutionPolicy.
- Mention Azure CLI as an alternative in the prerequisites, and provide installation links for Linux/macOS users.
- Ensure that all steps and screenshots are platform-agnostic or provide platform-specific variants.
- Where PowerShell is required, clarify if it can be run cross-platform (e.g., via PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS), and provide guidance for those environments.
