Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias by referencing the Azure portal and .NET samples first, and by not providing explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples for authentication or role assignment. While Azure CLI is mentioned in the related content, the main body of the documentation and code samples focus on .NET and Java, with no explicit Linux shell or cross-platform scripting examples. There are no PowerShell-heavy sections, but the absence of Linux-specific guidance or parity in examples is notable.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit Linux and cross-platform examples for authentication and role assignment, such as using Azure CLI commands in the main documentation body.
- Provide sample code and walkthroughs using Python or Node.js SDKs, which are popular on Linux, alongside .NET and Java.
- When referencing the Azure portal, also mention that the steps are applicable regardless of OS, and provide CLI alternatives for all portal actions.
- Add a section or callout that demonstrates how to perform all steps (registration, secret creation, role assignment, token acquisition) using only command-line tools available on Linux.
- Ensure that links to Azure CLI documentation are as prominent as those for PowerShell and the Azure portal.
