Summary
The documentation page exclusively provides a PowerShell script for configuring secure webhook delivery with Microsoft Entra Application in Azure Event Grid. There are no examples or instructions for Linux users or for using cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI or Bash. The script and instructions assume familiarity with PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling, and there is no mention of equivalent steps or commands for Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) or Bash script examples for each step, ensuring Linux and macOS users can follow along without PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention that the PowerShell script can be run on PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux/macOS, if applicable, and provide installation instructions if needed.
- Include a section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any differences or additional steps required.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Microsoft Graph CLI) in examples before or alongside PowerShell.
- Clarify any prerequisites or environment requirements for non-Windows users.
