Summary
The documentation provides examples for PowerShell and Windows, often listing PowerShell first and sometimes omitting explicit Linux/macOS instructions or relegating them to secondary tabs. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Task Scheduler, .cmd/.bat scripts) are mentioned before or alongside Linux equivalents, but Linux automation (cron, shell scripts) is only briefly covered. Some sections (e.g., role assignment, managed identity retrieval) have 'N/A' for Windows, but PowerShell is used as the primary scripting example, and Windows environment variable syntax is shown. Linux-specific guidance is less detailed, and Linux-first patterns are not emphasized.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS examples with equal prominence and detail as Windows/PowerShell examples, including shell scripting and automation patterns.
  • List Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Expand Linux automation guidance (e.g., cron usage, systemd timers) and provide sample scripts for Linux environments.
  • Include troubleshooting and environment setup steps specific to Linux, such as permissions, package dependencies, and common issues.
  • When mentioning Windows tools (e.g., Task Scheduler), also mention Linux equivalents (cron, systemd) with equal detail.
  • Avoid using PowerShell as the default scripting language; provide Bash/sh examples where appropriate.
  • Ensure all steps (e.g., managed identity retrieval, role assignment) have clear, working Linux/macOS instructions, not just 'N/A' for Windows.
