Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. PowerShell is featured prominently and described before Azure CLI, with detailed PowerShell command examples and references to installing PowerShell modules. The Azure portal (a GUI tool most commonly used on Windows) is presented as the primary method for PAL association, with alternate approaches (including CLI) described later. There is no mention of Linux-specific considerations, nor are there examples or troubleshooting steps tailored for Linux environments. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and does not address cross-platform differences or limitations.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux and macOS compatibility notes for all command-line instructions, including installation steps for Azure CLI and PowerShell on non-Windows platforms.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific examples, such as shell commands (bash/zsh), and clarify any differences in authentication or environment setup.
  • Balance the order of presentation: introduce Azure CLI and PowerShell together, or lead with the more cross-platform Azure CLI.
  • Mention any limitations or differences when using the Azure portal or PowerShell on Linux/macOS, and offer troubleshooting guidance.
  • Reference alternative tools or workflows that are native to Linux/macOS where possible.
  • Add a section on cross-platform best practices for partners who do not use Windows as their primary OS.
