Summary
The documentation demonstrates several Windows biases: PowerShell syntax and variables are used throughout, even in Azure CLI examples; Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK) are referenced as prerequisites and for key steps; Windows parameter file examples are presented before Linux ones; and some steps (e.g., variable assignment, object conversion) use Windows/PowerShell patterns without Linux/Bash equivalents. There are no explicit Bash/Linux shell examples for variable assignment or object manipulation, and Linux users may find it harder to follow or adapt the instructions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Linux shell equivalents for all variable assignments and scripting steps, especially where PowerShell syntax is currently used.
  • List both Windows and Linux prerequisites (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) and avoid requiring PowerShell for CLI usage.
  • Present Linux parameter file examples before or alongside Windows examples to avoid 'Windows first' ordering.
  • For steps involving Microsoft Graph, offer REST API or cross-platform SDK alternatives, not just PowerShell.
  • Explicitly note cross-platform compatibility and provide guidance for Linux users throughout the document.
