Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and examples. The authentication and role assignment instructions reference Azure PowerShell and .NET code samples, with no mention of Linux-specific workflows or cross-platform SDKs. The code sample is in C# using .NET, which is traditionally Windows-focused, and there are no equivalent examples for Linux environments (such as Python, Java, or Node.js). The instructions for registering applications and assigning roles are centered around the Azure portal and PowerShell, with CLI mentioned only in the 'Next steps' section and not in the main workflow. There is no guidance for Linux users or those using non-Windows development stacks.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent code samples in cross-platform languages such as Python, Java, or Node.js, using their respective Azure SDKs.
- Include explicit instructions and examples for using Azure CLI for authentication and role assignment, placing them alongside or before PowerShell instructions.
- Add guidance for Linux/macOS environments, including any OS-specific considerations for authentication and SDK usage.
- Reference cross-platform tools and workflows earlier in the documentation, not just in the 'Next steps' section.
- Ensure that screenshots and UI instructions clarify that the Azure portal is accessible from any OS.
