Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence than Linux-native workflows. PowerShell is not natively available on most Linux/macOS systems, and the documentation does not provide explicit Bash or shell script examples for common Linux/macOS scenarios. In several places, PowerShell is presented as a primary workflow, and Linux-native tools or shell scripting are not covered in depth. The use of 'docker' and 'az' CLI is cross-platform, but the lack of explicit Linux/macOS shell examples and the prominence of PowerShell may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/shell script examples for authentication workflows, especially for service principal and admin account scenarios.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is not required on Linux/macOS and that all Azure CLI examples work natively in Bash or other shells.
  • Reorder examples to show Azure CLI (cross-platform) first, and PowerShell second, or clearly label PowerShell as optional/alternative.
  • Where PowerShell cmdlets are shown, provide equivalent Bash/CLI commands for parity.
  • Add a short section or note for Linux/macOS users, confirming that all workflows are supported and linking to any OS-specific guidance if needed.
