Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples for environment variable configuration, but consistently lists Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Azure PowerShell) and links to Windows VM configuration guides before or instead of Linux equivalents. Azure PowerShell is emphasized, and Windows instructions are sometimes shown first or in greater detail. There are no explicit Linux VM configuration links, and the use of PowerShell is assumed for Windows users, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Include links and instructions for configuring managed identities on Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
  • Ensure Linux/macOS examples are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Provide parity in CLI usage examples, e.g., using Bash or sh for Linux/macOS, and avoid assuming PowerShell as the default for Windows.
  • Add explicit notes or sections for macOS users where applicable.
  • When referencing Azure CLI and PowerShell, clarify cross-platform support and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users.
