Summary
The documentation page is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell usage. All command-line examples use PowerShell cmdlets, and there are no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux shell examples. REST API and ARM template sections still rely on PowerShell for invocation. Even generic HTTP token retrieval is shown only with PowerShell, with no curl or Bash alternatives. The only non-PowerShell example is a Python script, but it does not address shell usage for Linux/macOS users. This creates friction for users on Linux or macOS who do not use PowerShell.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI (az) examples alongside PowerShell for all resource management and identity assignment tasks.
- Show REST API invocation using curl or httpie in addition to PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod.
- Include Bash shell script examples for environment variable usage and token retrieval.
- Clarify that PowerShell cmdlets can be run cross-platform, but also offer native Linux/macOS alternatives.
- Reorder examples so that platform-neutral or cross-platform methods (portal, REST, ARM template) are presented before PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility and provide troubleshooting tips for those platforms.
