Summary:
The documentation page provides detailed authentication steps and code samples for .NET and Python, but all portal navigation and setup instructions assume use of the Azure Portal GUI, without mention of CLI or scripting alternatives. There are no examples using Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native tools, and no guidance for users working in non-Windows environments. The .NET code samples implicitly target Windows users, and the Python example, while cross-platform, does not address Linux-specific setup or authentication nuances. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the absence of Linux/CLI parity and the focus on GUI steps indicate a Windows-first, GUI-centric bias.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions for registering applications, assigning permissions, and managing secrets using the Azure CLI (az) and/or Azure PowerShell, and present these before or alongside GUI steps.
- Include Bash or shell script examples for authentication flows, especially for unattended/service principal scenarios.
- Explicitly mention that the Python code is cross-platform and provide any Linux-specific notes (e.g., environment variable setup, dependency installation).
- Provide guidance for headless or non-GUI environments (common in Linux), such as using device code authentication or service principal flows via CLI.
- Where possible, balance the order of presentation so that CLI/Linux-native approaches are not always secondary to GUI/Windows-centric instructions.
