Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by prioritizing the Azure portal (a web GUI most closely associated with Windows workflows) for role assignment and application registration, and by providing .NET (C#) sample code before Java. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (such as Azure CLI or Bash scripts) for authentication or role assignment, nor are there references to Linux-specific workflows. While Azure CLI is mentioned in the related content, it is not included in the main instructional flow, and no CLI or shell examples are provided alongside the portal-based instructions.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Azure CLI and/or Bash examples for application registration, role assignment, and authentication token acquisition, and present them alongside or before portal-based instructions.
- Include Linux-friendly sample code and workflows (e.g., Python, JavaScript, or Java) in addition to .NET, and ensure they are equally prominent.
- When referencing the Azure portal, also mention that all steps can be performed using cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI or REST API, and provide links or inline examples.
- Ensure that documentation sections do not assume a Windows environment or toolset by default; explicitly call out cross-platform options where available.
