Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: when describing how to obtain an authentication token, it lists Azure CLI and PowerShell, but the PowerShell example is specifically called out, and there is no explicit mention of Linux or bash/zsh shell equivalents. The SDK example is .NET-focused, which is more common on Windows. There are no Linux-specific command-line examples or references to Linux-native tools. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and patterns, and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit bash/zsh/Linux shell examples for obtaining tokens (e.g., using curl, jq, or az CLI in bash).
  • List Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) before PowerShell, and clarify that CLI commands work on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
  • Include code snippets or instructions for Linux users wherever PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are mentioned.
  • Offer SDK usage examples in other languages common on Linux (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js), or at least reference their documentation.
  • Explicitly state that the APIs and tools are cross-platform where applicable, and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux environments.
