Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation shows mild Windows bias by describing the interactive browser login as 'Windows only' and listing it first among authentication options. It also references the PowerShell cmdlet Get-AzAccessToken as an example for obtaining an access token, without mentioning Linux/macOS alternatives. However, Linux authentication flows (device code, Azure CLI) are described and supported, and examples are generally cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS equivalents for obtaining access tokens (e.g., Azure CLI: 'az account get-access-token').
  • Clarify that device code login is the default for Linux and Windows Server Core, and consider listing it first or in parallel with Windows options.
  • Provide example commands for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash) where relevant.
  • Add a note that all examples are cross-platform unless otherwise stated, and specify OS requirements for each authentication method.
