Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, especially in the 'Generate a service principal' section, which provides only a PowerShell script for service principal creation and instructions for running it in a Windows PowerShell environment. There are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI), and the prerequisites specifically require Azure PowerShell. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and first, creating friction for users on other platforms.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions and scripts for Linux/macOS users, such as using Azure CLI (az ad sp create-for-rbac) with Bash.
- Include cross-platform examples for service principal creation and related steps.
- Clarify which steps are platform-specific and offer alternatives for non-Windows environments.
- Update prerequisites to mention Azure CLI as an alternative to Azure PowerShell.
- Reorder examples or provide parallel instructions so that Linux/macOS users are not forced to adapt Windows-centric guidance.
