Summary
The documentation shows mild Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific resources first (e.g., enabling managed identities on a VM links to a Windows VM guide), and by omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples for authentication or role assignment. All code samples are in C#/.NET, which is cross-platform but traditionally associated with Windows. There are no PowerShell-specific commands, but there is a lack of parity in showing Linux or CLI-based workflows.
Recommendations
- When referencing enabling managed identities on VMs, provide both Windows and Linux VM links, or a neutral overview page.
- Include Azure CLI examples for authentication and role assignment, as these are cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Provide at least one code sample in a language commonly used on Linux (e.g., Python or JavaScript), or explicitly mention that the SDKs and code samples work on Linux as well.
- If environment variable setup is shown, clarify how to do this on both Windows (setx, PowerShell) and Linux (export in Bash).
- Review all links and ensure that Linux and cross-platform documentation is referenced alongside or before Windows-specific resources.
