Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing the PowerShell cmdlet Get-AzAccessToken as the only example for obtaining a Bearer access token, without mentioning equivalent Linux or cross-platform CLI methods. No Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native instructions are provided for authentication or token retrieval. The only tool referenced for token acquisition is a Windows-centric PowerShell module, and no Linux-first or cross-platform alternatives are presented.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples (e.g., 'az account get-access-token') for obtaining the Bearer access token, which works cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS).
  • Include Bash shell command examples for REST API calls using curl, demonstrating how to authenticate and retrieve health status from Linux environments.
  • Mention both PowerShell and CLI methods in parallel, or present CLI/Bash examples before or alongside PowerShell to avoid a 'Windows-first' impression.
  • Explicitly state that the REST API and Azure CLI methods are supported on all platforms, and provide links to relevant Linux/macOS documentation.
  • Where possible, avoid referencing only Windows-specific tools (like Get-AzAccessToken) without cross-platform alternatives.
