Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for authentication, but PowerShell is given equal prominence throughout, despite being primarily a Windows tool. In several sections, PowerShell commands are presented as a main option rather than as an alternative for Windows users. There are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific command-line examples (e.g., bash scripting, environment variable usage in Linux shells), and the documentation does not clarify platform differences or provide Linux/macOS-specific guidance. While the CLI examples are cross-platform, the prominence of PowerShell and lack of explicit Linux/macOS context may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate that Azure PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users, and that Azure CLI is cross-platform.
  • Add explicit bash/zsh/Linux shell examples for scripting scenarios (e.g., using export instead of set for environment variables, using Linux shell syntax for piping tokens).
  • In sections where PowerShell is shown, provide a corresponding Linux/macOS shell example or clarify that PowerShell is optional.
  • When referencing environment variables, show both Windows (set/PowerShell) and Linux (export/bash) syntax.
  • Consider reordering examples to show Azure CLI (cross-platform) first, and PowerShell as an alternative for Windows users.
