Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to CLI, despite being Windows-centric. Most command examples are cross-platform (Azure CLI, Docker), but PowerShell examples are included throughout, and in some cases, CLI and PowerShell are presented as equivalent options. There is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS shell usage (e.g., Bash), and the order of examples often lists PowerShell alongside or immediately after CLI, rather than prioritizing cross-platform tools. There are no Linux-specific authentication patterns or troubleshooting notes, and the 'Next steps' section links to PowerShell and CLI guides, but not to Linux/macOS shell-specific guides.
Recommendations
  • Prioritize Azure CLI and Docker examples, as these are cross-platform, and list them before PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and Docker commands work on Linux/macOS, and provide sample Bash syntax where appropriate (e.g., environment variable usage, piping).
  • Add troubleshooting notes or tips for Linux/macOS users, such as file permission issues with Docker config, or differences in environment variable syntax.
  • Consider adding a 'Linux/macOS authentication' section or callout to reassure non-Windows users of parity.
  • Review the 'Next steps' section to include links to Linux/macOS getting started guides, if available.
