Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for managing access keys, but PowerShell scripts are given equal prominence and detail as CLI commands. There is a subtle Windows bias: PowerShell examples are included for every operation (get, renew, delete), and the CLI commands are noted as requiring modification to run in Windows terminals, but there is no equivalent note or example for running PowerShell on Linux/macOS. The CLI examples are described as running in Azure Cloud Shell (Bash), but there are no explicit Linux shell script examples, nor is there guidance for Linux users outside of Azure Cloud Shell. The documentation does not mention Linux-specific tools or patterns, and PowerShell is presented as a primary automation method, which is more common on Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/shell script examples for key operations (get, renew, delete) outside of Azure Cloud Shell, showing usage on Linux/macOS terminals.
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell can be used cross-platform, and provide installation/use instructions for Linux/macOS users.
  • When noting that CLI commands may need modification for Windows terminals, also mention any adjustments needed for PowerShell scripts on Linux/macOS.
  • Consider listing CLI (Bash) examples before PowerShell examples to avoid implicit Windows-first ordering.
  • Include references to Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, jq) for REST API calls as alternatives to PowerShell for automation.
