Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to CLI, which is less relevant for Linux/macOS users. In several sections, PowerShell is presented as a primary option alongside CLI, and there are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific examples or notes. The use of PowerShell commands and terminology may create friction for non-Windows users. Additionally, while the CLI is cross-platform, the documentation does not clarify this, nor does it provide shell-specific guidance (e.g., bash, zsh) or address Linux/macOS credential storage nuances.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and preferred for Linux/macOS users.
  • De-emphasize PowerShell by presenting CLI examples first and PowerShell as an alternative, or move PowerShell examples to a separate tab or section labeled 'Windows/PowerShell'.
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., bash, zsh) for environment variable usage and credential management.
  • Include notes or tips about credential storage locations and behaviors on Linux/macOS (e.g., where docker config files are stored).
  • Where relevant, mention that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but clarify that most Linux/macOS users will use bash/zsh with Azure CLI.
