Summary
The documentation provides examples for PowerShell and Windows, often listing PowerShell first and referencing Windows-specific tools and environment variable syntax. While Linux/macOS examples are present, some sections (such as role assignment and managed identity retrieval) omit direct Windows command examples, marking them as 'N/A'. Automation guidance mentions Windows Task Scheduler alongside cron, but scripting examples and automation are Linux shell-centric. This creates a subtle bias toward Windows and PowerShell, with Linux parity not fully achieved in all sections.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Windows command examples (e.g., using batch files or Windows CLI syntax) where currently marked 'N/A', especially for role assignment and managed identity retrieval.
  • Ensure Linux/macOS examples are given equal prominence and order as Windows/PowerShell examples, rather than listing PowerShell first.
  • Expand automation examples to include Windows batch (.bat/.cmd) and PowerShell scripts, with step-by-step instructions for scheduling via Windows Task Scheduler.
  • Reference cross-platform tools and patterns (e.g., using az CLI in both Windows and Linux environments) and avoid assuming PowerShell as the default for Windows.
  • Where environment variables are set, clarify differences and provide examples for all platforms, including Windows Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Linux shells.
