Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias by referencing Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI as the primary credential sources, listing Azure PowerShell before Linux-friendly alternatives, and omitting explicit Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples. All credential examples and cloud profile references assume the use of Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell, which are more commonly used on Windows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using environment credentials or Managed Identity from non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as using environment variables for authentication or Managed Identity.
  • Mention cross-platform alternatives to Azure PowerShell, such as Bash scripts or native CLI usage on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide installation and usage notes for Linux/macOS.
  • List credential types in a neutral order (e.g., AzureCLI, Environment, ManagedIdentity, AzurePowerShell, VisualStudio) to avoid Windows-first perception.
  • Include troubleshooting or notes for platform-specific behaviors, especially where Bicep or Azure CLI may behave differently on Linux/macOS.
