Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. The only example for creating a service principal is provided as a PowerShell script, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-compatible alternatives. The prerequisites specifically call out installing Azure PowerShell, and the instructions reference Windows-specific concepts such as PowerShell execution policies. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples or guidance, and Windows/PowerShell tooling is presented as the default and only option.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and scripts using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include Bash script examples for service principal creation and other automation steps.
  • Mention that Azure PowerShell is available on Linux and macOS, but clarify that Azure CLI may be preferred for cross-platform scenarios.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, including how to run scripts and set permissions.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default shell; present both PowerShell and Bash/CLI options side-by-side.
  • Review all steps for Windows-specific terminology and replace or supplement with platform-neutral language and examples.
