Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell commands for provisioning the service principal, referencing the AzureAD PowerShell module, and omitting equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Azure CLI or Bash). The use of PowerShell is assumed throughout, and no alternative cross-platform tooling or examples are provided. The prerequisites and steps focus on Windows-centric tools and patterns, with no mention of Linux or macOS workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Include Bash shell examples for command-line steps, especially for service principal provisioning and authentication.
  • Explicitly mention that the steps can be performed on Linux/macOS and provide links or guidance for installing and using Azure CLI on those platforms.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify that it is available on Linux and macOS, or provide alternative commands for those environments.
  • Review all steps for assumptions of Windows-only tools and add parity for Linux/macOS users.
