Summary
The documentation page exclusively uses PowerShell for all command-line examples, assumes the use of the Az PowerShell module, and provides no equivalent instructions for Linux or cross-platform tools (such as Bash, Azure CLI, or curl). Windows-specific tools and patterns are mentioned first and solely, with no guidance for Linux users. This creates a strong Windows bias and may hinder accessibility for users on Linux or macOS.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Bash and Azure CLI, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
  • Provide REST API invocation examples using curl or httpie, which are available on all platforms.
  • Include instructions for authenticating to Azure using Azure CLI (az login) and obtaining access tokens in Bash.
  • Clearly indicate that the steps can be performed on any OS and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider restructuring the documentation to present cross-platform tools first, or in parallel with PowerShell, to avoid Windows-first bias.
