Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell are frequently mentioned first, and PowerShell is used as the primary example for access policy assignment and token retrieval. Windows-specific tools and groups (e.g., Administrators, PowerShell) are referenced before their Linux equivalents, and links to Windows instructions often precede Linux ones. While Linux examples are present, they are sometimes less detailed or referenced after Windows steps.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions/examples to avoid consistently prioritizing Windows.
- Provide equally detailed Linux examples and screenshots for all major steps, including access policy assignment and token retrieval.
- Include references to Linux-native tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash scripts) alongside or before PowerShell, especially in 'Next steps' and prerequisite sections.
- Ensure that group membership requirements and terminology for Linux are explained as thoroughly as for Windows.
- Where possible, use generic cross-platform instructions first, then provide OS-specific details.
