Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code examples for creating a service principal use PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native tooling. The prerequisites explicitly require Azure PowerShell, and instructions reference Windows-specific concepts like Set-ExecutionPolicy and running scripts in PowerShell. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided, and Windows tools/patterns are mentioned exclusively and first.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and code examples using Azure CLI (az) in Bash, which works natively on Linux and macOS.
  • Include a section or note on how to perform service principal creation and role assignment using Bash or shell scripting.
  • Mention that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, but clarify how to install and use it on Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid Windows-specific commands like Set-ExecutionPolicy, or provide platform-specific alternatives for Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure all steps (including prerequisites) offer both PowerShell and Azure CLI options, with clear guidance for Linux users.
  • Add screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux environments to demonstrate parity.
