Summary:
The documentation provides a significant number of examples and troubleshooting steps using Azure PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Get-AzRoleAssignment, Remove-AzRoleAssignment), which are primarily associated with Windows environments. In several troubleshooting sections, PowerShell is presented as the main or only scripting interface, with detailed command-line examples and error outputs. While Azure CLI is mentioned and used in some examples (which is cross-platform), PowerShell is often given equal or greater prominence, and in some cases, only PowerShell examples are provided for certain troubleshooting flows. There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or native Linux tool examples, and Windows/PowerShell patterns are sometimes described before CLI or REST alternatives.
Recommendations:
- For every PowerShell example, provide an equivalent Azure CLI (bash/shell) example, especially for common tasks like listing, assigning, or removing role assignments.
- When showing troubleshooting steps or error messages, include both PowerShell and CLI outputs where applicable.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- If possible, add bash script snippets or usage patterns for Linux users, especially for filtering or processing output (e.g., using jq or grep with az CLI).
- In sections where PowerShell is presented first, consider presenting Azure CLI examples first or side-by-side to avoid a Windows-first impression.
- Explicitly mention that all management tasks can be performed from Linux/macOS using Azure CLI or REST API, not just PowerShell.
