Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing PowerShell examples, referencing Windows-centric tools and cmdlets (such as Get-AzRoleDefinition, Get-AzADUser, New-AzResourceGroupDeployment), and omitting Linux-specific or cross-platform CLI alternatives for key steps (such as obtaining object IDs or deploying templates). Azure CLI is mentioned, but its example is less detailed and appears after extensive PowerShell coverage. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples or guidance for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent bash/Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, especially for obtaining object IDs and deploying ARM templates.
- List Azure CLI and bash examples before or alongside PowerShell to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
- Reference cross-platform tools and commands (e.g., az ad user show) when discussing how to retrieve user or group object IDs.
- Clarify that Azure CLI and ARM templates are fully supported on Linux/macOS, and provide explicit instructions for those environments.
- Where PowerShell-specific features (like New-Guid) are used, offer alternatives using standard Linux tools (e.g., uuidgen).
