Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell-based instructions for creating Microsoft Entra application identities, without offering equivalent CLI or Bash examples for Linux/macOS users. The only command-line automation shown is via PowerShell, and references to tools or patterns (such as 'Add-AzAccount', 'New-AzADApplication') are Windows-centric. There is no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. Additionally, the order of presentation places PowerShell instructions before any mention of Linux-compatible tooling, and the ARM template deployment section explicitly states that PowerShell cannot be used for certain tasks, but does not offer Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for all command-line tasks, especially for creating and managing Microsoft Entra application identities.
  • Include Bash or shell script snippets where appropriate, and clarify which steps can be performed on Linux/macOS.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform tools and workflows, such as Azure CLI, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Reorder sections so that cross-platform or platform-neutral instructions (e.g., Azure portal, Azure CLI) are presented before Windows/PowerShell-specific instructions.
  • Where PowerShell is required or recommended, note the equivalent steps for Linux/macOS users and provide guidance for installing PowerShell Core on those platforms if necessary.
