Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Azure portal (which is most commonly used on Windows), providing links and pivots for configuring managed identities specifically for Windows VMs, and omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., no Linux VM instructions, no Bash or shell script samples, no mention of Linux-specific tooling). The only CLI example given is generic and does not clarify platform compatibility. There is no mention of Linux desktop tools or workflows, and screenshots are all from the Azure portal UI, which is most familiar to Windows users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for configuring managed identities on Linux VMs, including links to Linux-specific documentation and pivots.
- Provide CLI examples using Bash or shell scripts, and clarify that the az CLI works cross-platform.
- Include screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux environments (e.g., Azure portal accessed from Linux, or using SSH/CLI tools).
- Mention Linux desktop tools or workflows where relevant (e.g., using QGIS on Linux, authenticating from Linux containers).
- Where links reference Windows-specific pivots, also include or prioritize Linux pivots.
- State clearly that all authentication steps and tools (Azure CLI, Python SDK) are cross-platform, and highlight any platform-specific caveats.
