Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All examples and walkthroughs use the .NET library and reference the AccountManagement sample, which is a C#/.NET (Windows-centric) project. The Azure portal instructions and terminology (e.g., 'Windows Azure Service Management API') are Windows-oriented. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions, nor are alternative SDKs, tools, or authentication flows for non-Windows platforms mentioned. No parity is provided for Linux users wishing to use Python, Java, or REST APIs, nor are cross-platform CLI examples (e.g., Azure CLI) shown.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using cross-platform SDKs (e.g., Python, Java) and REST API calls.
  • Provide instructions for authenticating using Azure CLI, which is available on Linux/macOS.
  • Reference and link to Linux/macOS-compatible sample projects.
  • Clarify that the .NET library can be used on Linux/macOS via .NET Core/6+, if applicable, and provide setup instructions.
  • Avoid using 'Windows Azure' terminology exclusively; use 'Azure Resource Manager' or 'Azure Service Management API' where possible.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility and provide guidance for non-Windows environments.
