Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure Portal (GUI) instructions for role assignment and managed identity operations, which are most commonly accessed from Windows environments. There are no CLI-based examples (such as Azure CLI, Bash, or PowerShell) for these tasks, and no Linux-specific guidance is provided. The only automation example is via Bicep, which is cross-platform, but the step-by-step instructions for manual operations are portal-centric and lack parity for Linux users who may prefer command-line tools.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for creating, assigning, and managing User Assigned Managed Identities and roles, ensuring commands are compatible with Bash and PowerShell.
- Include PowerShell examples for users who prefer scripting on Windows.
- Provide explicit instructions for performing all key operations (role assignment, managed identity creation, etc.) via CLI, not just via the portal.
- Clarify that all operations can be performed from Linux, macOS, or Windows environments using Azure CLI or Bicep.
- Add a section comparing portal and CLI approaches, highlighting cross-platform options.
