Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, primarily by providing only PowerShell scripts and instructions for service principal creation, referencing Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Set-ExecutionPolicy), and omitting equivalent Linux/bash examples. The prerequisites and step-by-step guidance assume a Windows environment, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives or parity for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash/CLI examples for service principal creation, using Azure CLI (az) commands, which work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Include instructions for running scripts on Linux/macOS, such as using chmod to set execution permissions and running scripts with bash.
  • Mention cross-platform compatibility of Azure Pipelines agents and tools, and clarify which steps are OS-agnostic.
  • Reorder or balance examples so that Linux/bash alternatives are presented alongside or before Windows/PowerShell instructions.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, including troubleshooting and environment setup guidance.
