Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows and PowerShell environments. All examples and instructions are provided exclusively for Windows PowerShell, with explicit requirements for Windows-specific tools (e.g., Windows Management Framework, .NET Framework, Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant). There are no references to Linux, macOS, or cross-platform PowerShell Core usage, nor are there any CLI or Bash examples. The documentation assumes the user is on Windows and does not mention or support alternative platforms.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux and macOS environments, including installation steps for PowerShell Core (pwsh) and Az modules on those platforms.
- Provide Azure CLI (az) command examples for authentication and credential management, as Azure CLI is cross-platform.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and offer alternative guidance for non-Windows users.
- Mention and support PowerShell Core (7+) as a cross-platform option, and note any differences or limitations compared to Windows PowerShell.
- Avoid requiring Windows-only tools (e.g., Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant) where possible, or provide alternatives for Linux/macOS.
- Reorder sections or provide parallel instructions so that Linux/macOS users are not treated as an afterthought.
