Summary
The documentation primarily provides examples and references for .NET and Azure portal workflows, which are most familiar to Windows users. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples, nor are cross-platform SDKs or tools (such as Python, Java, or Node.js) demonstrated. The only code sample is in C#, and links to further samples are .NET-focused. While Azure CLI is mentioned in the 'Next steps', it is not shown in the main workflow or examples, and PowerShell is referenced before CLI. No Linux-specific guidance or parity is provided.
Recommendations
- Add authentication code samples for other cross-platform SDKs (Python, Java, Node.js) alongside the .NET example.
- Include explicit Azure CLI examples for authentication and role assignment in the main workflow, not just in 'Next steps'.
- Show how to use environment variables or managed identities from Linux/macOS environments.
- Balance references to PowerShell and CLI, or show CLI first as it is cross-platform.
- Clarify that the authentication flow and SDKs are supported on Linux/macOS and provide links to relevant documentation.
