Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the section describing how to retrieve a Bearer access token for REST API usage. It references the PowerShell cmdlet Get-AzAccessToken and links to its documentation, without mentioning or providing equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Azure CLI or other cross-platform methods). No Linux-specific tools or examples are provided, and the only tool mentioned for token retrieval is PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for retrieving a Bearer access token using Azure CLI (az account get-access-token), which works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Include example commands for both PowerShell and Azure CLI, and present them side-by-side or in tabs labeled 'Windows (PowerShell)' and 'Linux/macOS (Azure CLI)'.
  • Explicitly state that both PowerShell and Azure CLI can be used to retrieve access tokens, and provide links to relevant documentation for each.
  • Review other sections for implicit Windows-first assumptions and ensure parity in tool references and examples.
