Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While it is mostly platform-neutral, it references Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI in the 'Related content' section, and the sample code and walkthroughs focus on .NET and Java, which are more commonly associated with Windows development environments. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows. The documentation does not provide parity in terms of Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform scripting examples for authentication or role assignment.
Recommendations:
- Present Azure CLI examples before or alongside Azure PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Include bash or shell script examples for authentication and role assignment to demonstrate Linux parity.
- Add explicit notes or sections on how to perform key steps (such as registering applications, assigning roles, and acquiring tokens) from Linux or macOS environments.
- Provide sample code or links for Python or Node.js SDKs, which are popular in Linux development, in addition to .NET and Java.
- Ensure that screenshots and walkthroughs do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., avoid showing only Windows-style file paths or UI).
