Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell (and specifically the AzureAD module) instructions for provisioning the service principal, with no equivalent Bash/CLI or Linux-native example. The prerequisite section includes a PowerShell requirements include, and all command-line steps are shown using PowerShell syntax. There is no mention of cross-platform Azure CLI alternatives, and the documentation assumes use of the Azure Portal (web UI), which is platform-neutral but does not compensate for the lack of Linux/CLI parity in scripting steps.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all PowerShell steps, especially for provisioning the service principal. Azure CLI is cross-platform and works natively on Linux and macOS.
- Add a section or callout indicating that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS using Azure CLI, and provide links to relevant Azure CLI documentation.
- Where PowerShell modules are referenced (e.g., AzureAD), mention their platform limitations and suggest alternatives for non-Windows users.
- Ensure that all code snippets and automation steps are available in both PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI formats, ideally side-by-side.
- Review the 'azure-powershell-requirements-no-header' include to ensure it does not exclude or discourage Linux users.
