Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the initial provisioning steps. Azure PowerShell is used exclusively for critical setup tasks, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives (such as Azure CLI or Bash). The PowerShell module installation and usage instructions are presented first and solely, potentially hindering Linux/macOS users who may not have access to or familiarity with PowerShell. Subsequent steps rely on the Azure portal (web-based), which is cross-platform, but the lack of parity in command-line instructions is a friction point.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI commands for provisioning the Azure API Management Data Plane service principal and other setup tasks.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure PowerShell can be installed and used on Linux/macOS, or link to installation instructions for those platforms.
  • Where possible, offer Bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform solutions (Azure CLI, REST API) are shown before or alongside PowerShell.
  • Add a note clarifying platform compatibility for all command-line tools used.
