Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. All command-line examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no equivalent Bash, curl, or cross-platform scripting examples. The use of Azure PowerShell and references to the Azure portal (a web UI, but often associated with Windows-centric workflows) further reinforce this bias. There are no Linux-native or cross-platform command-line instructions, and the PowerShell examples are presented as the default and only way to perform key tasks.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash/curl examples for token generation and API calls, ensuring Linux and macOS users can follow along without PowerShell.
- Clearly indicate that the Azure portal is web-based and accessible from any OS, to avoid the impression of Windows exclusivity.
- Wherever PowerShell scripts are given, add corresponding Bash/curl or Python examples side-by-side.
- Review all prerequisite and tool references to ensure they are not Windows-specific, or provide Linux alternatives where necessary.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility in relevant sections to reassure non-Windows users.
