Summary
The documentation provides a PowerShell example for obtaining tokens from the managed identity endpoint, but does not provide equivalent Linux shell (bash/curl) examples. The use of PowerShell and Windows environment variable syntax is presented before any Linux alternatives, and no Linux-specific command-line patterns (e.g., bash, curl, wget) are shown for this scenario. This may make it harder for Linux users to follow the documentation, especially for tasks like token retrieval from the endpoint.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux shell (bash) examples alongside PowerShell for token retrieval, using curl or wget.
  • Show both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash) environment variable syntax in all relevant code snippets.
  • Explicitly mention that the HTTP GET example can be performed with curl/wget and provide sample commands.
  • Ensure that CLI and scripting examples are platform-neutral or provide both Windows and Linux variants.
  • Review other sections for implicit Windows-first assumptions and add Linux parity where needed.
