Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is consistently featured alongside CLI, and sometimes appears first in tables and sections. There is a notable emphasis on PowerShell usage, and the CLI examples use Windows-style environment variable syntax in some places. Linux/macOS equivalents are present but not always highlighted or explained with parity. The documentation also refers to the Docker daemon and CLI, which are cross-platform, but does not explicitly mention Linux/macOS shell usage or differences. The alternative container tool section does mention 'podman', which is more common on Linux, but this is a minor mention.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Azure CLI examples are always presented first, as it is cross-platform, and clarify that PowerShell is optional and primarily for Windows users.
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS shell command examples (e.g., using export instead of set for environment variables, or using bash syntax for variables).
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, add a note that it is available cross-platform, but is most commonly used on Windows.
  • In the table of authentication methods, list Azure CLI before PowerShell to reflect cross-platform parity.
  • Add a brief section or note clarifying that all CLI commands are supported on Linux/macOS, and provide links to platform-specific installation guides for Docker, Azure CLI, and PowerShell.
