Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Azure portal and managed identity configuration steps that are primarily oriented toward Windows environments. The links and examples for configuring managed identities on Azure VMs use the Windows portal pivot, and there are no explicit Linux or cross-platform CLI or shell examples for common authentication or RBAC tasks. The documentation does not provide PowerShell-heavy examples, but it does omit Linux-specific guidance and examples, such as using Azure CLI on Linux, configuring managed identities on Linux VMs, or using Linux-native tools for authentication.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples for configuring managed identities and RBAC on Linux VMs, including Azure CLI commands and Linux portal pivots.
- Include Linux-specific instructions or screenshots where relevant, especially for steps that differ from Windows.
- Provide cross-platform CLI examples (bash, zsh) for authentication and token acquisition, not just Python or portal-based workflows.
- Reference documentation for Linux VM managed identity configuration alongside Windows VM links.
- Clarify that Azure CLI and SDKs work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide parity in example commands.
