Summary
The documentation provides authentication instructions using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but it implicitly assumes a Windows-centric workflow. There are no explicit Linux or macOS examples, nor are there references to Linux-specific shell environments or command patterns. The instructions mention browser-based authentication (which can behave differently on Linux), and do not address Linux-specific issues or alternatives. The mention of Azure Cloud Shell is generic, but local usage examples do not clarify platform differences.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples for Linux/macOS terminals, including notes on browser authentication behavior and possible CLI flags for headless environments.
- Mention platform-specific considerations, such as using 'az login --use-device-code' for SSH or headless Linux systems.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide links or notes for installing and using it on Linux/macOS.
- Include troubleshooting tips for common Linux authentication issues (e.g., browser not opening automatically).
