Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All command-line examples for credential management use PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention of Linux shell equivalents or cross-platform CLI tools. The creation and retrieval of credentials are demonstrated exclusively with Windows PowerShell, and the documentation references Windows-specific objects like PSCredential. The Python examples are provided, but there are no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native instructions. The documentation does not address how Linux users can manage credentials outside of the Azure portal or Python SDK, nor does it mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell cmdlets.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for credential management, showing how to create, retrieve, and use credentials from Linux/macOS terminals.
- Include Bash or shell script snippets for common credential operations, or clarify if such operations are not supported outside PowerShell.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and provide guidance for Linux users, including links to relevant cross-platform tools or SDKs.
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform or platform-neutral methods (e.g., Azure portal, REST API, Azure CLI) are presented before Windows/PowerShell-specific instructions.
- Mention and link to documentation for managing credentials using REST API or SDKs in languages other than Python and PowerShell.
- Clarify whether PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux/macOS is supported and provide examples if so.
