Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell instructions for provisioning the service principal, without mentioning or providing equivalent steps for Linux or cross-platform environments (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash). The use of PowerShell-specific modules and commands assumes a Windows environment and omits guidance for users on Linux or macOS. Additionally, the prerequisites and step-by-step instructions prioritize Windows tools and do not offer parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure PowerShell commands can be run on Linux/macOS if PowerShell Core is installed, or provide installation guidance.
  • Provide Bash or shell script examples for common tasks, such as service principal creation and authentication.
  • Include notes or links to documentation for Linux/macOS users, ensuring all steps can be completed regardless of OS.
  • Review and update screenshots and UI references to clarify any OS-specific differences.
