Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence to Azure CLI throughout, and is referenced in nearly every authentication scenario. Examples and instructions for Linux-native workflows (e.g., Bash, shell scripting) are minimal, and PowerShell is presented before or alongside CLI in most cases. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell script examples for common tasks (e.g., using environment variables, credential management), and the 'Next steps' section only links to Azure CLI and PowerShell guides, omitting Linux-specific or cross-platform container tool guides. The section on alternative container tools (podman) is brief and lacks detailed Linux workflow examples.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/shell script examples for authentication flows, especially for service principal and token-based logins.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific instructions for credential management and environment variable usage.
  • Expand the section on alternative container tools (podman) with step-by-step Linux workflow examples, including troubleshooting and best practices.
  • In 'Next steps', link to cross-platform container tool guides (e.g., podman, nerdctl) and Linux/macOS getting started guides.
  • Consider presenting Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples before PowerShell, and clarify that PowerShell is primarily for Windows users.
