Summary
The documentation page displays moderate Windows bias in several areas. While the core authentication concepts are platform-neutral, operational examples and tooling references favor Windows. The Azure PowerShell example is provided for disabling local authentication, but there is no equivalent Bash or Linux shell example. The Azure CLI example is present (which is cross-platform), but the PowerShell example is given its own section and is more detailed. References to enabling managed identities on VMs link to Windows VM instructions first, with no explicit mention of Linux VMs. No Linux/macOS-specific guidance or troubleshooting is provided, and all code samples are in C# (.NET), which is most commonly used on Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux VM managed identity configuration links and examples.
  • Provide Bash or Linux shell equivalents for PowerShell commands, especially for resource creation and configuration.
  • Include code samples in additional languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript) and clarify that SDKs are cross-platform.
  • Balance the order of CLI and PowerShell examples, or combine them in a single section to avoid platform prioritization.
  • Add troubleshooting notes or tips for Linux/macOS users where platform differences may impact authentication or SDK usage.
