Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Azure portal workflows and screenshots, which are primarily Windows-centric, and by omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, or Linux-specific instructions). The only CLI example given is 'az login --identity', which is cross-platform, but there are no Linux-specific setup or troubleshooting notes, nor are Linux tools or patterns mentioned. The documentation also references Azure portal UI steps before any CLI or code-based alternatives, which are more common in Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/Bash command-line examples for authentication and RBAC configuration, such as using Azure CLI in Bash or shell scripts.
- Include instructions for configuring managed identities and service principals using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Terraform) with Linux-specific notes.
- Provide screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux environments (e.g., Ubuntu terminal) in addition to Azure portal UI.
- Mention and document troubleshooting steps or environment variable configuration for Linux systems.
- Clarify that all CLI commands (e.g., 'az login') work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide platform-specific caveats if any.
