Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (ARMClient.exe) for authentication and API queries, with no Linux or cross-platform alternatives. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, but the authentication workflow for ARM API queries is Windows-centric. There is no mention of Linux equivalents or how to perform these steps on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS alternatives for ARMClient.exe, such as using curl, httpie, or Azure CLI to obtain bearer tokens and make API requests.
  • Include example commands for authentication and API queries using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, curl, bash scripts).
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and PowerShell are both cross-platform, but show explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., bash) alongside PowerShell.
  • List cross-platform methods before or alongside Windows-specific tools to avoid Windows-first impression.
  • Add notes or links to documentation for Linux/macOS users on how to perform equivalent operations.
