Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions and screenshots for using the Azure Portal (a GUI tool most commonly accessed from Windows environments) and omitting any CLI-based examples (such as Azure CLI or PowerShell). There are no Linux-specific instructions or examples, nor is there mention of using cross-platform tools for role assignment or managed identity operations. The only automation example provided is via Bicep, which is cross-platform, but the interactive steps are portal-centric and lack parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for assigning roles and managed identities using Azure CLI and/or PowerShell, with explicit examples for both Windows and Linux environments.
- Include screenshots or terminal output for CLI-based workflows to complement portal-based instructions.
- Clearly indicate that all operations can be performed from Linux, macOS, or Windows using CLI tools, and provide guidance for installing and using these tools.
- Where possible, mention automation options (e.g., ARM templates, Terraform) that are platform-agnostic.
- Ensure that portal instructions are not presented as the only or primary method, but as one of several options.
