Summary
The documentation provides authentication examples for both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, but PowerShell examples are given equal prominence throughout, despite PowerShell being primarily a Windows tool. Azure CLI examples are cross-platform, but there are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., Bash), and the CLI examples do not clarify Linux-specific nuances. PowerShell is mentioned in every authentication table row, and the 'Next steps' section links to both CLI and PowerShell guides, but not to Linux/macOS-specific workflows. The documentation does mention using alternative container tools (like podman), but this is a brief section and lacks detailed Linux/macOS guidance.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and provide explicit Bash/zsh examples for Linux/macOS users.
  • Reduce the prominence of PowerShell unless a Windows-specific workflow is required; consider moving PowerShell examples to a separate section or tab.
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific guidance for authentication, including environment variable usage and shell scripting patterns.
  • Include links to Linux/macOS getting started guides in the 'Next steps' section.
  • Expand the 'alternative container tool' section with more detailed podman/skopeo examples and troubleshooting tips for Linux/macOS environments.
