Summary
The documentation page for managed identity in Azure Data Factory demonstrates a Windows bias. PowerShell is the only CLI tool shown in command examples, and all programmatic instructions for generating and retrieving managed identities use PowerShell first or exclusively. There are no examples using Azure CLI (which is cross-platform), Bash, or Linux-native tools. The instructions for retrieving application IDs and assigning roles also rely on PowerShell, with no Linux or Azure CLI equivalents provided.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, including creating, updating, and retrieving managed identities.
- Provide Bash script samples for REST API calls, using curl or httpie, to illustrate Linux usage.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and REST API are cross-platform and suitable for Linux/macOS users.
- Reorder examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API) are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
- Include notes or sections on how Linux/macOS users can perform these tasks without PowerShell.
- Ensure screenshots and UI instructions are not Windows-specific, or clarify their cross-platform applicability.
