Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. PowerShell is the only CLI tool provided for managing agentless dependency analysis, with all command-line examples and automation instructions using PowerShell cmdlets. Windows credential patterns and permissions are described first and in more detail than Linux equivalents. The use of Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Power BI) is pervasive, and there are no Linux shell or cross-platform CLI examples. Linux-specific instructions are minimal and lack parity with Windows in terms of examples and troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, using Azure CLI or REST API where possible.
- Document Linux credential management and permissions with the same level of detail as Windows, including troubleshooting steps and examples.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., jq, csvkit, or other open-source data processing utilities) for exporting and manipulating dependency data.
- Ensure that instructions for enabling/disabling dependency analysis are platform-neutral and do not assume PowerShell is available.
- Include screenshots or walkthroughs from Linux environments where relevant.
- Clarify any platform-specific limitations or requirements, and offer guidance for Linux-only environments.
