Summary
The documentation consistently lists Windows-centric tools (Azure PowerShell, Azure portal) before Linux-friendly alternatives (Azure CLI, REST API) when presenting options for creating identities, assigning roles, and managing access. PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence than Azure CLI, and all portal instructions are based on the Azure portal (a web GUI, but often associated with Windows workflows). There are no explicit Linux shell or scripting examples, and no mention of Linux-specific patterns or tools. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of command-line examples, nor does it acknowledge Linux environments or workflows.
Recommendations
- When listing command-line tools, alternate the order or list Azure CLI before PowerShell to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
- Provide explicit Bash/Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for all tasks, including identity creation, role assignment, and access policy management.
- Include notes or sections for Linux users, such as how to perform tasks in Linux shells, and clarify that all steps are cross-platform unless otherwise noted.
- Reference Linux automation tools (e.g., shell scripts, cron jobs) where relevant, and provide sample scripts for common scenarios.
- Add a parity checklist to ensure all PowerShell instructions have equivalent Azure CLI (and, where possible, REST API) examples.
- Consider including screenshots or walkthroughs for Azure CLI in addition to the Azure portal.
