Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific Azure portal pivots (e.g., 'qs-configure-portal-windows-vm'), providing screenshots and instructions only for the Azure portal (which is platform-agnostic but often assumes a Windows workflow), and omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., no Bash or Linux-specific CLI instructions). There are no PowerShell examples, but the absence of Linux/Unix-specific guidance or parity in examples and links constitutes a subtle bias.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux/Unix command-line examples (e.g., Bash scripts for az CLI usage, environment variable configuration).
  • When linking to Azure documentation, use platform-neutral or include both Windows and Linux pivots (e.g., provide links for configuring managed identities on both Windows and Linux VMs).
  • Add screenshots or instructions for using the Azure CLI and/or REST API, which are cross-platform, alongside Azure portal steps.
  • Clarify that all CLI commands (such as 'az login') work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide any OS-specific notes if needed.
  • Where environment variables are referenced, show both Windows (set) and Linux (export) syntax.
