Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence than is typical for cross-platform parity. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion alongside CLI in every example may create friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, PowerShell commands are shown in detail, and the CLI/PowerShell tab structure sometimes lists PowerShell first. There is minimal mention of Linux/macOS-specific shell environments, and no explicit Bash or shell script examples are provided. However, the core authentication flows use Azure CLI and Docker, which are cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Prioritize Azure CLI examples and ensure they are always listed before PowerShell, as CLI is the primary cross-platform tool.
  • Clearly indicate that PowerShell is optional and primarily for Windows users; consider moving PowerShell examples to a separate section or tab.
  • Add explicit Bash/shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for scripting scenarios.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, add a note that Azure CLI is recommended for Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure that all instructions referencing environment variables or scripting use syntax compatible with Bash as well as PowerShell.
