Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is the only CLI example provided for generating and retrieving managed identities, with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux/macOS shell equivalents. PowerShell commands are presented before REST API, ARM template, and SDK examples, and there is no mention of cross-platform alternatives. This may create friction for Linux/macOS users who do not use PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell commands are Windows-centric and provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI instructions.
  • Reorder examples so that REST API, ARM template, and SDK instructions are presented before or alongside PowerShell, to avoid Windows-first impression.
  • Include notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to perform these operations without PowerShell.
