Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by describing the interactive browser login as 'Windows only' and presenting it before Linux authentication methods. Additionally, the only method shown for obtaining an access token is via the Windows-centric PowerShell cmdlet 'Get-AzAccessToken', with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Present authentication options in a neutral or cross-platform order, or explicitly alternate between Windows and Linux methods.
  • For access token acquisition, include Linux-compatible methods such as using 'az account get-access-token' from Azure CLI.
  • Clarify which authentication methods are available on Linux and provide equivalent Linux examples where applicable.
  • Avoid labeling features as '(Windows only)' without also specifying Linux alternatives or behaviors.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, also mention Bash or other Linux shell equivalents for parity.
