Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias: all scripting examples use PowerShell, and users are instructed to use the Azure Portal's Cloud Shell in PowerShell mode. There are no Bash or Linux-native shell examples, nor any mention of how to perform equivalent steps on Linux/macOS. The PowerShell scripts are referenced before any Azure CLI commands, and the workflow assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI scripts for all PowerShell examples, especially for steps involving Microsoft Graph and service principal assignments.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Cloud Shell supports both Bash and PowerShell, and clarify which steps can be performed in Bash.
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific instructions for environment setup and authentication, including any differences in tool installation or usage.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) in examples, and avoid exclusive reliance on PowerShell.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform (CLI/Bash) instructions appear before or alongside PowerShell instructions.
