Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing both Bash and PowerShell examples for access token generation, but PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence despite Bash being more universal across platforms. All portal-based instructions and screenshots are tailored to the Azure Portal GUI, which is most commonly accessed from Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools (e.g., Azure CLI), nor are there instructions for command-line-only or headless Linux workflows. The documentation does not reference Linux-specific patterns or alternatives, and Windows tools (PowerShell) are presented before or alongside Bash, rather than giving Linux-native approaches priority.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for all steps that can be performed via CLI, especially for resource registration, app registration, and role assignment.
  • Explicitly mention Linux compatibility and provide Linux-specific instructions or notes where relevant.
  • Ensure Bash examples are presented first, with PowerShell as an alternative for Windows users.
  • Include screenshots or instructions for using the Azure CLI or other Linux-native tools, not just the Azure Portal GUI.
  • Reference cross-platform tools and workflows to ensure parity for Linux and macOS users.
