Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias by assuming the use of PowerShell as the primary shell environment for running Azure CLI commands. All command-line examples use PowerShell syntax (e.g., $variable = $(...)), and the complete script is explicitly labeled as a PowerShell session. There are no examples or notes for running the same workflow in Bash or on Linux/macOS systems, despite the Azure CLI being cross-platform. Additionally, references to obtaining Azure AD object IDs mention PowerShell cmdlets (Get-AzADUser), with no mention of Bash or cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Bash/Linux/macOS command examples alongside PowerShell, especially for variable assignment and command substitution.
  • Add a note clarifying that Azure CLI commands work on all platforms, and show how to adapt variable assignment and scripting for Bash.
  • Where PowerShell cmdlets are referenced (e.g., Get-AzADUser), include Azure CLI or Microsoft Graph API alternatives that are platform-agnostic.
  • In the 'Complete script example', offer a Bash version or at least highlight the differences for Linux/macOS users.
  • Avoid language like 'PowerShell session' unless the steps are truly Windows-specific; otherwise, use 'terminal' or 'shell'.
