Summary
The documentation shows evidence of Windows bias. The instructions for generating a GUID mention PowerShell first ('new-guid' command in Microsoft PowerShell) before suggesting an online generator, and the scripting example for obtaining an access token uses PowerShell before cURL. There are no explicit Linux shell or tool examples for GUID generation, and the ordering of examples and tool references favors Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell equivalents for GUID generation, such as 'uuidgen' or 'openssl rand -hex 16', alongside PowerShell.
  • Present cURL and other cross-platform examples before or alongside PowerShell scripts to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS and provide relevant command-line examples.
  • Where Windows-specific tools are referenced, offer Linux/macOS alternatives in equal detail.
  • Review screenshots and instructions to ensure they are not exclusively Windows/Azure Portal-centric, or add notes for Linux users where appropriate.
