Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: examples and references for enabling managed identities on VMs link to Windows VM guides, PowerShell is presented as a primary method for resource management, and screenshots/instructions are tailored to the Azure Portal (which is most commonly used on Windows). There are no explicit Linux CLI or shell script examples, and Linux VM configuration is not mentioned or linked. The CLI example is present, but PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence, and no Bash or Linux-specific instructions are provided.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and links for enabling managed identities on Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
- Provide Bash or shell script equivalents for PowerShell commands, especially for resource creation and management.
- Include screenshots or instructions for Azure Portal usage on Linux (if applicable), or clarify that the portal is cross-platform.
- Ensure that CLI examples are presented before or alongside PowerShell, and clarify their cross-platform nature.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., environment variable export via 'export' in Bash) in authentication code samples.
- Where SDK usage is shown, provide sample code snippets for Linux-friendly languages and environments (e.g., Python with Bash environment setup).
