Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it mentions both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell for enabling managed identity, the PowerShell example is provided in full, and the CLI example is less prominent and not as detailed. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or screenshots, and the portal instructions and screenshots reflect a Windows-centric UI. No mention is made of Linux-specific shell environments, nor are there examples for Bash or other non-Windows tools. The ordering of examples places PowerShell after CLI, but the PowerShell example is more detailed. There is no explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and UI patterns.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash shell examples for Azure CLI commands, including syntax for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI works cross-platform and provide explicit instructions for running CLI commands on Linux/macOS.
  • Add screenshots or notes indicating that the Azure portal UI is accessible from any OS/browser.
  • Ensure parity in example detail between PowerShell and CLI, and consider showing CLI examples first to emphasize cross-platform support.
  • Mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, or provide links to installation instructions for non-Windows users.
