Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it mentions both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell for enabling managed identity, the PowerShell example is given equal prominence to the CLI, and the documentation does not provide any Linux- or macOS-specific guidance or screenshots. The Azure portal instructions and screenshots are platform-agnostic, but the command-line examples do not clarify cross-platform compatibility, and there are no explicit Linux shell or Bash examples. The use of Azure PowerShell (which is traditionally associated with Windows, though now cross-platform) without clarifying its availability on Linux may confuse Linux users. There is also no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell are available on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and provide installation links for each platform.
  • Add Bash shell examples for Linux users, especially for common tasks such as enabling managed identity and assigning roles.
  • Clarify in the Azure PowerShell section that it is cross-platform, and provide guidance for installing and using it on Linux.
  • Where possible, provide parity in examples: if a PowerShell example is given, also provide a Bash/Azure CLI example, and vice versa.
  • Include notes or callouts for any platform-specific behaviors or requirements.
  • Consider adding a section or appendix on using these features from a Linux environment, including troubleshooting tips relevant to Linux users.
