Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias by linking to instructions for enabling managed identities specifically on Windows VMs and omitting equivalent Linux VM instructions. There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance for enabling managed identities or deploying sample applications on Linux-based environments. The sample application and code are .NET/C# focused, which is more common in Windows environments, and there is no parity in showing how to perform the same tasks on Linux VMs or with Linux-centric tools.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions and links for enabling managed identities on Linux VMs, such as linking to 'Configure managed identities on Azure VMs (Linux)' documentation.
- Include Linux-based sample application deployment steps, or at least mention that the process is similar for Linux App Service or containerized workloads.
- Provide code samples or references for other common Linux-friendly languages (e.g., Python) and frameworks.
- When referencing enabling managed identities, present both Windows and Linux options together, or in a neutral order, to avoid a Windows-first impression.
- Clarify that managed identities and authentication flows are supported equally on Linux and Windows, and provide explicit guidance for Linux users.
