Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (ARMClient.exe) for authentication and querying, with no equivalent Linux or cross-platform examples. Windows/PowerShell approaches are presented before or instead of Linux alternatives, and there is a lack of guidance for Linux users on how to perform the same operations (e.g., acquiring a Bearer token, using curl or other native tools).
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for authentication and querying, such as using Azure CLI (`az account get-access-token`) or curl for REST API calls.
  • Include examples using bash shell and native Linux tools for all steps currently shown with PowerShell or Windows executables.
  • Mention cross-platform tools first or alongside Windows-specific tools to ensure parity.
  • Clarify that ARMClient.exe is Windows-only and suggest alternatives for other platforms.
  • Ensure all code samples (especially for REST API calls and scripting) have both PowerShell and bash/curl versions.
