Summary
The documentation primarily demonstrates authentication using .NET console applications, which are most commonly run on Windows. The highlighted code samples and walkthroughs focus exclusively on .NET and do not provide equivalent examples for Linux/macOS environments or other languages/platforms. Additionally, instructions for running the sample application do not mention cross-platform compatibility or alternative steps for Linux/macOS users. The 'Next steps' section lists Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI, subtly prioritizing Windows tooling.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the .NET sample is cross-platform and provide instructions for running it on Linux/macOS (e.g., using .NET Core/.NET 5+).
- Add code samples or walkthroughs for Java and JavaScript, as referenced in the 'Samples' section, to demonstrate authentication from non-Windows environments.
- In the 'Next steps' section, list Azure CLI before Azure PowerShell or clarify that both are available on all platforms.
- Include troubleshooting notes or environment setup instructions for Linux/macOS users.
- Where possible, use language-neutral or cross-platform examples in highlighted code sections.
