Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the section describing how to retrieve a Bearer access token for REST API calls. It references only the Windows PowerShell cmdlet (Get-AzAccessToken) for obtaining the token, without mentioning Linux or cross-platform alternatives (such as Azure CLI). No Linux-specific tools or examples are provided, and the only command-line guidance is Windows-centric. This may hinder Linux users or those using non-Windows environments from easily following the instructions.
Recommendations
  • Include Azure CLI examples for retrieving the Bearer access token (e.g., 'az account get-access-token'), which work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Add explicit guidance or links for Linux/macOS users on how to authenticate and retrieve tokens.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, also mention cross-platform alternatives and clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure parity in command-line examples by providing both PowerShell and Azure CLI instructions side-by-side.
  • Review other sections for implicit Windows assumptions and clarify where steps are platform-agnostic.
